Asus maximus VII ranger no signal from GTX 970
Hello

System spec:
Processor: i5 4690k
Mainboard: Asus Maximus VII Ranger (latest bios)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X 8gb
Soundcard: Sound Blaster Z
PSU: Corsair HX750
Single monitor: Samsung BX2431

I was running this setup on my EVGA gtx 670 FTW for a while without any problems.
Lately I bought MSI gtx 970 gaming but I had no signal from DVI. While DVD port was plugged I could load my system (in very low resolution) up to black Win 7 logo, after that there was no signal in either port but from the sound I heard that Win 7 booted. After reset I was able to boot in safe mode I had to RMA that MSI gpu (faulty VRM). I bought Gigabyte gtx 970 G1 gaming and I have the same exact problem. At this time I'm using my old GTX 670 and I have no idea what to do. I've also tried another PCI slot.

Best Regards

I think it is much more simple...either your DVI cable is bad or the signal detection on your monitor DVI port is bad. The GPU is fine I bet.

Can you try the GPU in another rig? Might be the GPU itself...Also might ry uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest drivers.

I managed it to work with hdmi cable. But when I tried to plug DVI into GPU port there was black screen again. When I pluged hdmi cable only then it works fine... No idea what might be the case....

Do you have an extra monitor cable anywhere or adapters to try another output on the video card? Since the problem is the same across multiple pieces of hardware, you can start to look at other elements.

Some things to check:

In the bios, have the PCIe GPU selected as the primary device, not set to auto

Try different outputs on the card using adapters, different cables, different monitor/tv

Make sure the PCIe power cables are two separate cables for the power inputs, not one PCIe cable with two sets of 6+2 pin connectors on it

Do you have access to another machine, a friends machine etc that you could temporarily put the card into and see if it duplicates the symptoms?
