Computer Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z77
Processor: Intel i7 3700k
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 680
Memory: (2) Corsair Vengeance 4GB
PSU: Corsair 750TX
Monitors: Acer G215HV (2)
- Connection: DVI-I / DVI-D (see GTX 680)
OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
So, I recently had an issue where the i7's stock CPU Fan wouldn't spin correctly when my computer booted up. The awesome user base here at Tom's Hardware helped me narrow it down to either a mobo or fan problem. Went ahead and bought an aftermarket 120mm fan, works like a charm.
Here's the snag: I reinstalled my OS to get a fresh start after I installed the fan. Windows installs just fine. I logged into the computer (windows update turned off for the time being) and installed the driver for my wireless card from disk. Rebooted, still working just fine. Next step: straight to EVGA.com to download the driver for the graphics card. Got the appropriate one (non-beta) and installed it. Once the Nvidia software had finished running and prompted for me to restart the computer, I did so.
When my computer booted back up, as soon as the Windows 7 starting animation (swirling light orbs bit) finished, the monitor went black and gave a "No Input" message after about ~two seconds. Same symptoms on multiple reboots (uEFI BIOS still reachable), and I've tried reinstalling Windows 7 again as well.
I've sent a ticket to EVGA for assistance (no response yet), but thought I'd reach out to you folks for assistance again.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I'm really hoping the card isn't busted and I'm just making a stupid mistake somewhere along the process.

Try downloading drivers from nvidia.com, they arent modified, and have some nice beta ones.
