GTX 970 Black Screen

[Javin]

Good morning everybody! My friend has this problem with his graphics card and i'm not sure if its the drivers on the card or if its the card that failed itself, let me know what you think.

When I boot the computer up with the monitor plugged into the 970, there is simply no image what so ever. No BIOS or anything. Then once I remove the graphics card, and plug the the DVI into the motherboard, it'll boot up and show the BIOS screen. I grabbed my spare GTX 660 and plugged that into the system to see if it would boot up any different, and it did. It booted up to the BIOS and loaded up his OS. So i'm wondering if its the GTX 970 itself, or if it has bad drivers installed on it? Any suggestions? Thanks guys

It's dead dood... R.I.P.:GTX 970. You could try reflowing the GPU but when it turns on and there's a black screen (sometimes the fans are on high) they're usually just dead.
