Hi everyone
Like the title says, on my new build Im getting a black screen after installing the drivers for my nVidia 9800GX2 gpu's. Just got my new parts in today, everything has installed perfect this far until , here are my system specs
ASUS P8Z68-v pro (brand new) (using all drivers off DVD that came with it)
i5 2500K 3.3 (new)
8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengence (2x 4GB) (new)
Antec 850W quattro (3yr old)
2x nVidia 9800GX2 cards (3yr old)
default BIOS
Vista x64, SP2 installing right now, but only tried GPU with SP1
WD Raptor 150GB (3yr old)
I first tried with the very latest drivers that installed okay, then on trying to shutdown it just sat at a black screen. Manually powered off then on restart it would get to the windows loading screen, where the green bars go across then just sits at a black screen.
upon restarting it will get into desktop and then in device manager it tells me that windows stopped the device because it reported a problem, and revert to the standard VGA adaptor built into the card.
I have also tried using the stock drivers that came on the DVD with the cards. Have tried a combo of both cards connected, One card in the second slot only, one card in the first slot only. Always results in a black screen.
Seems obvious like a driver problem?? But none have worked this far. If my GPU slots on the mobo were shot it wouldnt even display anything? Similar problems to my old build where I used these cards
Thoughts or suggestions to find a solution would be really appreciated
