I wasn't sure what forum to use, so I'll try this one as this is a new build.
So I completed a new build this afternoon. Everything looks good. I turn it on, all comes on, Windows 7 (64-bit) installs with no issues. Then I install motherboard drivers from CD, no problems there.
[BTW, onboard video from motherboard was disabled in EUFI/BIOS]
Next step, install graphics drivers (because 800X600 Standard VGA is killing me). I try the CD that came with the card ( Asus GeForce GTX 670 ). I installed them with no problems. At the end of the install, it asked to restart (expected, no biggie).
After restart, I get the colored bar that goes back with the "Starting Windows" message. Then about the time it should come up to login prompt, the monitor goes black. Not like it crashed, but more like it went into a non-displayable resolution or some other weird mode that the monitor didn't like.
I restart into safe mode. uninstall the drivers and come back up in standard VGA again. I thought maybe disc had a bad set of drivers or something. So then I go to NVidia site and get latest drivers. Same problem.
Any ideas? I saw some other threads that seemed similar, but not quite the same. None of them helped.
Other info (if needed):
Graphics: Asus GeForce GTX 670 (see link above)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme6 ( here )
Using the DVI input to LCD monitor (relatively new one, 24" widescreen with pretty good supported resolution)
I'd appreciate any ideas.
