Hello all.
I just got a PC with a strange problem that you may be able to help me solve. My friend asked me to take a look at it and I am really lost here.
Problem was that PC does not display anything. So i assumed it was grapdhic card and replaced original XFX Radeon 7970 with a Geforce GTX 670 I had in my PC. PC rebooted in the funny 800x600 screen without showing correct screen adapter ( graphic card ) when chosen in Control panel / system / device manager. I then tried to autodetect card using online service from geforce java autodetect function but that came back as coudnt find card message. So i downloaded latest chosing manually from the list and it did find the card and install driver and asked for reboot. On reboot the screen goes black. and is impossible to get back. Pressing power on this stage results in waiting until system shuts down which I presume means that windows is actually running in the backgroun. Its not like one click shutdown which happenes if its not pass boot. So I put another less advanced card inside and same thing happenes. I mean exactly the same. This time systems sutoupdates driver and ask for reboot and when I do that it goes to black. Now I have 3 graphic cards which I know are working fine on other PCs ( I tried ). but cant show anything. The motheboard is MSI Z77A G45 gaming and I had to take out battery in order to get back some life on the screen. Its still this windows default display with no graphic at all but as long as I dont use latest graphic drivers pc is beahving just fine. So what am I missing here ? I also checked this PSU on other PC with same cards and its working just fine. Right now am writing from Safe mode with networking and I could really use some help asap... Thanks in advance...
 
i suggest taking out video card then running on intigrated graphics uninstall all drivers for the video card so thats display driver audio driver and physx there are softwares which go in depth and completly remove all files of the software , when you are sure that it has no video card drivers reboot with the video card but this time boot in safe mode with networking , your os may be unstable due to the change , then go into device manager and check what your gtx 670 shows up as probally something like generic something . and choose the latest drivers avalible install and then tell us if that worked
