Hi All,

I've recently just upgraded my graphics card from and old AMD to a newer nVidia (GTX 970 Gigabyte G1) and my computer booted and worked perfectly for a while - however, after a certain point whenever I would boot i would get no display.

I've reinstalled Windows 10 and the issue seemed to have re-mediated but then later returned.

Things I've noticed:
- After booting if I hold the power button to switch off then start again the display would work
- Noticed if I switched to the iGFX the display would work
- Noticed the GTX 970 grayed out in Device Manager in some instance
- Everything seems to power on (The card fans spin and LED lights up, the case fans spin, the watercooler lights up and is on)

If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

PSU: Make, model, wattage, age, condition?

May have been able to support the old GPU (and other components) but now unable to support the load of the new GPU and the other components.

The additional load may be pushing the PSU's limits.

Add up the component wattages and determine how much margin you have between load and PSU.

Yep, tried installing new drivers (used DDU to remove anything existing)

Upgraded Firmware on card from Gigabyte too.

Try to clean your ram pins and ram socket (you can clean your ram pins with eraser and socket with sandpaper) and also try same thing with your graphics card and pci-e socket or test your pc with another graphics card.
