I have been trying for weeks to fix this problem, and have had absolutely no solution.

After trying for so long I gave up and had a shop replace the motherboard of my PC, I also put in a new CPU, new PSU, new graphics card, pretty much new everything

I installed windows 7 64 bit, and after installing some drivers I installed the graphics card driver (which didnt flicker the screen at all), restarted, an Boom, SAME PROBLEM

What is the solution for this?

PC SPECS:
ASUS Z87-A MOTHERBOARD
16GB RAM
SAMSUNG 840 500GB SSD
EVGA NVIDIA GTX 780 TI SC ACX

Its just that your system doesn't detect the Graphic Card which has been installed in it.
If you have a CD which is suppose to be given t you at time of purchase of the graphic card, maybe what you can do it, switch the VGA Cable which is currently plugged into the Graphics card and shift it to the motherboard's VGA Slot. It should work fine with it. Then run the installation from the CD and then change back the cable to your graphic card's slot. when your computer restarts, the screen shouldn't go black anymore. If problem still persists, give a try reformatting your system again. Reformatting always does the trick.

Do update back from time to time.

After installing the drivers for the graphics card and restarting the PC, windows loads up to a black screen with a mouse cursor and that's it. During the installation of the graphics card the screen did not flicker at all which it normally does.

This issue is all over the internet but no solution seems to fix it
 


Absolutely.

Everything is brand new and working functioning as normal. I was careful as always with placing the graphics card into the motherboard also.

It seems to be a driver issue
Right now my Pc is running fine, just no graphics driver installed.
As soon as I install the graphics drivers (and the screen does not even flicker like normal when installing a gpu)
and restart the computer, windows loads up, i hear the sound of the login screen, and its just a black screen with a mouse cursor
 
I am now having the same issue . Plus I also have another post about how I am having green flicker almost like a green 3D vision on one monitor. But if I usually shut it off via the button, an then on again it will usually go to the windows sign in screen. My perplexing issue is the lil windows swirls will load to the lil pic then it goes black an mouse cursor. It seems to be doing it all the time now .
Trying to load up the graphics card driver CD even though my new gpu is the almost identical gpu that I had before . Only the OC version
 
Ok loaded up. It did hang at the load screen between the windows logo an the sign in screen. But finally loaded it up. I realize that this is no solution at all. But I have a p6t deluxe MB an I went in an turned off the quick boot. At first it did not help at all. But I found out that it was loading in this order :
1 : 1 floppy drive ? I don't have one ...
2 : SATA WD 500.....
3 : Sony optical r/rw...

So I fixed that. I was wondering why when I originally installed the new gpu an before when I tried to load via a boot disk or the windows disk it would bypass the optical. I thought since I don't rip disks a lot unless saving older pics an stuff , that the drive had been shot. Take your phone an go thru your bios an make sure anything you don't think looks right , look it up an make sure your bios is set right. Since mine has not been looked at since I OC my chipset there was a few lil things I swapped around.
