Any more info on the system? GPU model.....etc. You might need to update your motherboard bios. That is if the motherboard supports your GPU.

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Is your video cable connected to the motherboard or the GPU?
It sounds like it may be a bad card, or specifically... bad video memory as GPUz can't read how much memory it has, but has all the other info about the card.

When i press the ,,Lookup" button in GPU-Z it gets me here https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b3797/gigabyte-gtx-1060-windforce-2x-oc

It's still not worth your time trying to figure it out, GPU-Z is looking at the Device ID to get that webpage, but it's failing to read the GPU memory size, and the Nvidia driver installer isn't happy either.

Return it to the store if you can, RMA it to the manufacturer if you can't.
