ASUS GTX 960 not bootable

[pedrobrio]

First of all, hi to all of you.

I have recently set up a a brand new Desktop composed by the following components:
Cpu: Intel i7-4790K
Mobo: ASUS Z97 PRO
GPU: ASUS GTX960 2Gb
Ram: Crucial 16GB (8x2) DDR3-1600 CL9
HD: Samsung 840 EVO SSD, 250Gb, WD Caviar Green 3Tb
PSU: Coooler Master V550 (80 PLUS Gold)

Monitor: Not yet arrived, at the moment using a Smart TV Samsung 40 LCD

Everything is working perfectly, except the GPU.
When I remove the GPU, the system boots up nicely, and I can enter the BIOS and the SO.

When I have the GPU, the system seems booting up fine, but I am not able to see anything. ( I get a black screen)
The Q-code of the Mobo is A0, which is exactly the same with no GPU.
The GTX has a white light (which seems OK), and I notice a short spinning of its fans just for few seconds.
After that, everything seems working, but I am not able to see anything (connected in HDMI).
I have tryed switching the HDMI from the CPU to the GPU, but I do not receive any signals.

I have tried to update the BIOS of the mobo with the lastest update, but still no signal.
I have tried two different PCI-E 16x slots, but still nothing...

Could you help me to solve this mistery ?


Thanks in advance

This same exact thing happened to me. I fixed it by updating my bios with my old gpu in.

Thx for you answer. You're giving me some hope
Could I ask you what kind of mobo do you have ? ... did you flash your mobo, right ?
Do you thnk you really need an old gpu in ?
Sorry so many questions, but I am a little bit lost

Regards

Not an old GPU, just one that works with your current setup. My mobo is the stock Dell one that came with my XPS 8700 (Special Edition)
