I recently purchased a new graphics card (PNY GTX 1050 TI) to replace my old card a Gigabyte GTX 760. The day prior I had also updated Nividia graphics drivers (if that has anything to do with my problem). After replacing the old card with the new one I got a black screen, no cursor, nothing.
What I have tried so far.
-Putting the old card back in, same result black screen no cursor.
-Hooking up monitors to on board graphics, same result.
-Tried to reset the Bios by removing cmos battery, then repeating above steps with all three graphics output options, same result.
-Tried to reseat RAM, same result.
-I tried using two different monitors as well with each attempt.
-Each new attempt I doubled checked all power cables, no issues there.
-The fans turn on and all normal boot noises are made at each start up.
-No beeps from motherboard.
Not sure were to go now, any help is greatly appreciated.

Solution
What version of Windows are you using? Could you more accurately identify the G.Skill Ripjaw ram you are using?

First clear the CMOS. Then try booting with only 1 stick of ram located in slot "DIMM_A2". Then try switching that stick of ram with a 2nd stick and try booting again.
