GV-N56GOC-1GI "No Signal"

[Celebros]

Hello,

Just built myself a new setup with:
i5 2500k
8GB RAM
Win7 64-bit Home Premium
ASUS P8Z68-V LX
GV-N56GOC-1GI

And it uses a BFG 800W power supply with 54A on the 12V rails.

The problem I have is that the card will not go above 1024x768 resolution with the Nvidia drivers installed, all I get is a "No Signal" message one the monitor. I have tried 280.26 which came with the card, the windows update driver, and the latest as of yesterday from the Nvidia website and none of them make a difference.

I have tried flashing the bios on the card using the EasyBoost software but it tries to put F61 on over the F11 already installed, and fails.

Any ideas?

Hi Celebros, 

Put a F12 version. Not (Never) a F61.

Before I suggest you make clean your system:

Driver notes : before install new driver,
Please completely remove older version driver first with :
Drivers sweeper : http://phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/Version-3-2-0/

and soft for  Windows Registry :

This is a brand spanking new installation of Windows. System restored and Nvidia clean installed every time I changed drivers also.

And the only reason I mention F61 is because that's the only version that the EasyBoost software detects as the upgrade.

Forgot to mention that without the drivers installed it will go to 1280x1024.

Right i did as you stated and no difference.

I'm going to try my old 8600 GT soon just to check the motherboard can even use a gfx card and if that works then this card will be RMA'd and swapped for something else.

Unless anyone has any other ideas i can try?

Hi

What type of cables are you using and are there any beeps when you boot up?

It boots perfectly normally, and im using the power cables that are fitted to the psu im using. It has 2 PCIE power connectors on it.

Last night i tried 2 other graphics cards that I own and they both worked perfectly, so it looks like a faulty card. i'm going to RMA it today.

No...I meant the cables from your monitor to the graphics card.

lol sorry, HDMI via DVI-HDMI adapter, also tried VGA via DVI -VGA, and neither worked, but do perfectly with other cards.

The unit has been RMA'd now.
