Computer Specs:
I used 'Speccy' to obtain the following information...
Operating System:
Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit SP1
CPU:
Intel Core i7 4770K @ 3.50GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM:
24.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard:
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING (MS-7821) (Socket 0)
Graphics:
GN246HL (1920x1080@59Hz)
Intel HD Graphics 4600 (MSI)
Storage:
279GB Western Digital WDC WD3000HLFS-60G6U SCSI Disk Device (SATA)
Optical Drives:
hp CDDVDW TS-H653R SCSI CdRom Device
Audio:
Realtek High Definition Audio
Graphics card(s) I own, but is not detected by 'Speccy':
RoG NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 STRIX 6GB GDDR5
Also used for diagnostics:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
PSU is 700W I think.
Issue:
Integrated graphics are working fine, however whenever I switch to my graphics card, I get "No Signal".
NOTE: When I visit the board explorer in my BIOS, the device is detected in the correct slot with the following description:-
"PCIE2 X16 : NVIDIA Corporation. VGA-compatible controller,Running at X16 2.5 GT/s"
With this in mind, I still get "no signal" both before and after booting into Windows.
What I've Tested Already:
I have tried the following:
Switching the video cable.
Swapped graphics card, same outcome. I also replaced my 1060 and still, no signal. Effectively have tried 3 graphics cards, not likely the issue.
I have swapped monitors.
I have reinstalled my OS and installed other versions of Windows.
I have booted into Windows safe mode (my GPU used to display in safe mode, but currently does not, this is since sending it away to a shop for diagnostics).
Most driver related resolutions, including manual removal and installations of drivers, however I don't see how downloading drivers for the device should be a problem as it should work (with lowered performance) anyway.
Seating the card in a different slot.
Additional Notes:
I used to use my 760, which worked fine. When I upgraded to the 1060, my computer had many problems such as sometimes the computer would not boot at all and also BSODs would occur at seemingly arbitrary times, normally shortly after loading windows. At this point, when booting into Safe Mode, I would receive display on my monitor from the graphics card. This is no longer the case.
I sent the computer away and they claimed to have fixed the issue, but I noticed no difference and could not send it back as I had uni.
I since replaced the 1060 and I still get the "no signal" error and I personally believe it's likely to be the Motherboard getting damaged during the seating of the new card, but there is no visible harm.
I am hoping that someone will point out something that I have missed, before I go out and just buy a new motherboard for no reason.
TL;DR:
Motherboard detects my graphics card, Windows does not. Before and after booting into Windows, receive no signal from card.
Would appreciate any help, I have tried to fix this problem for over half a year to no avail.
