Couple years ago I build myself PC. Decided to upgrade my GPU from 560 ti to Gigabyte gtx 970 Gaming G1 so I could play new dragon age and upcoming Withcer 3 and such.

Anyway, long story short. after uninstalling gtx 560 ti drivers, taking the card out and putting new card in my monitor wont get any signal. its just black screen for some seconds and then goes on standby. Ive tried DVI-D cable and VGA to DVI-I cable as those are the only ones in my monitor. both give same result: black screen.

Windows boots up normally, I can hear the beep and lights flash on keyboard/mouse/etc as normal. but there is nothing on my screen, not even for a second. I removed the card and tried integrated intel HD graphics, it worked fine. then put back in my gtx 560 ti and it was working like charm too (using it during this writing). Any idea what I should do?

Hello, I have exactly the same situation and problem, just small changes in components of my computer, but it is almost the same, Asrock motherboard, power supply 650w, before I had GTX 550 ti and bla-bla-bla. And my videocard is Gigabyte GTX 970 Winforce 3x right now.

When I start my computer everything is working including the videocard, but I can not see anything  on the screen, when i put out my videocard, integrated videocard is working. So, exact the same thing happen to me.

You posted this topic on December 3rd, so I think you fixed this problem already, can you help me ?

Thanks,
Anton.
