No signal on monitor after upgrading to windows 10

hrihs66 · Mar 20, 2018

Before I was running on windows 7 my GPU worked fine but when I upgraded to windows 10 I get no signal when I connect my monitor to GPU but when I connect my monitor to motherboard it works using integrated graphics.
GPU - zotac nvidia geforce gtx 1050 ti mini
PSU is 450w
OS is windows 10 pro 64bit

Check the BIOS of your motherboard, see if you can tell it to use the nVidia card rather than the onboard one.

Did you re-install the drivers for the GPU after the installation of Windows? Windows 10 may have "tried" to install it's own drivers for the GPU, but your best bet is to get them directly from Nvidia.

I cannot re install as it asks for graphic hardware at installation when I plug the GPU it says no signal

hrihs66 · Mar 21, 2018

But when it is showing no signal I can hear windows booting up at background

Did you check out the earlier advice and looked in the BIOS? You want the primary graphics to be set to the PCIe, which is where your card is.

I found an option called primary video device and I set it to PCIE/PCI Video

Still no signal

Pull the video card out, let the system boot up using the onboard GFX. Shut it down and install the nVidia GFX card. Keep the video cable on the onboard card and power it up to Windows, see if Windows even detects the nVidia card. If it doesn't, then the card is bad. If it does, the issue is elsewhere.
I don't use Win10 myself, but can you tell windows your main display card is now the nVidia card (assuming Win10 sees it) and plug into it then?

hrihs66 · Mar 21, 2018

OK I will try and update you

hrihs66 · Mar 21, 2018

It shows no signal when I put GPU and boot with onboard graphics

sixthcircle · Mar 21, 2018

ok, so try with the nVidia card (the cable that is)

hrihs66 · Mar 21, 2018

It shows same no signal that's where the problem is

Sounds like you have a bad nVidia card, or possibly the PCIe slot is bad...can you move the card to another slot?

hrihs66 · Mar 22, 2018

No I have only one PCI-E slot

hrihs66 · Mar 22, 2018

Will moving back to win 7 help?

sixthcircle · Mar 22, 2018

Doubt moving back will help, if you are not getting signal, then the card is bad. Go find a cheap used card from eBay or CraigsList and try, see what happens.

If you get no signal and can't even get into BIOS settings connected to the graphics card then the card is possible the issue. One thing that can cause this also is an issue with the card installation, slot, or BIOS settings such is primary adapter. This takes place before Windows is loaded. You can try the card on another machine to confirm the card doesn't work. If it does work on another machine then your machine is the issue.

hrihs66 · Mar 23, 2018

The fans of graphics card still work and it used to when I was on win 7 so I think my graphic card is fine and when I am getting no signal I hear the windows booting up in background so when I checked about win 10 it says that it does not support 640*480p but when I put my GPU without it s drivers it gives an output of 480p so I think that's the problem and I will try running it in safe mode maybe it may work

jr9 · Mar 23, 2018

If it works in safe mode or you can access your BIOS settings using the graphics card, but the card fails to work when Windows loads, that means the issue is the display driver for the graphics card. I recommend booting into safe mode with Display Driver Uninstaller, booting into normal Windows, and then installing the newest display driver. Only install the display driver and Physx, leave everything else unchecked.

I already uninstalled my Nvidia display drivers in control panel in program and features.

DDU gets rid of the things that Programs and Features sometimes misses such as registry keys, folders and files, and driver stores. Often the remnants of older driver installations can interfere with new ones.

hrihs66 · Mar 25, 2018

I installed DDU and uninstalled my old nVidia drivers by booting using the integrated graphics I used clean and restart in DDU after it restarted I shut down my PC and put the GPU but still I get no signal. what should I do?

jr9 · Mar 25, 2018

If you are hooked up to the graphics card and start the PC and get "No signal" this means the PC did not detect the graphics card or it's failing to send output. When you first start the PC connected the the graphics card can you get any signal at all even before Windows loads? If you get "No signal" and nothing else (No BIOS screens nothing) I would shut down, reseat the card (in a different slot if possible), and startup again.

Other options are doing a CMOS reset or testing the card in another machine.

hrihs66 · Mar 26, 2018

I can't try the card in another slot . I will try to do CMOS reset and update you
