New graphics card, no onboard output so I cannot install new drivers

[StoicInsentient]

Im trying to install a new gpu, I have uninstalled my old driver, turned off my machine, put in the new one and turned my pc back on. If I plug an hdmi into the new gpu I get a signal until the windows loading screen and then it goes blank. I cannot get a signal from the motherboard DVI, even in dual screen configuration with the old GPU back in. I have checked around in the BIOS and I cant see any specific settings for the onboard video and it doesn't look like its been disabled. I'm not really sure what to do, I can't install the drivers for the new GPU until it is in the machine but I cannot get a display once it is in! I tried to take the graphics card out and just boot from the onboard DVI but my pc beeps three times and wont turn on without the GPU in place. I am a bit at a loss, I feel like if I could get the DVI on the motherboard to work in dual display mode then I could disable the GPU in the bios. Any help would be much appreciated.

''I have uninstalled my old driver'' how did you do this ? the card should display by default under the windows standard vga drivers built in to windows in order to get to desktop in like a safe mode then you download and or install the cards driver

I would try to start windows in safe mode think its F8 as its booting up ?

need your system specs as well to look at anything on it

the card displays the bios screens fine ? then it should boot in safe mode to windows

now theres been some guys that ended up having to reinstall windows [last ditch effort] but then there cards did work ??

I went into device manger and uninstalled the driver for there, then shut down and put in the new GPU.

My machine is a Dell Precision T1500, it has a PCI Express 2 port on the motherboard which i have plugged the new GPU into, which is a Zotac GTX 1050ti OC edition. I am Running windows 10.

I'm going to try safe mode now. Thanks

Try turning off Secure Boot in the motherboard BIOS setup.

Windows 10 likes to install its own drivers instead of hardware manufacturers drivers ... the day of release many users were frustrated by Win10's insistence on uninstalling GFX card drivers just installed and replacing them with new drivers. MS proposed a solution to this some time back which would backdate all MS provided drivers to 2006 or so and then OS would gibe priority to the manufacturers latest driver. I have not seen anything however that this is now in place.

It would appear that something has messed up your Windows installation. If you get it working, perfporm step 4 below. If you wind up reinstalling, follow the list

=============================================

1. Prepare for Windows installation with USB tool or us whatever media you have
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool

2. Connect boot drive data cable to lowest numbered SATA port .... but don't connect:
-Ethernet cable
-SATA Data Cable for any other drives

3. Install Windows to boot drive

4. Turn off Windows ability to install Hardware drivers

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/82137-drivers-turn-off-automatic-driver-installation.html

5. Install all hardware drivers from original media in boxes Optional but see Item 7 below

6. Connect ethernet cable and run Windows Update till it stops doing anything

7. Install latest drivers for ALL hardware from manufacturers web sites. The reason we didn't do this in step 5 is 3 fold:
-Sometimes MoBo CD comes with licensed utilities with product key embedded and these are not on web site versions
-Its advisable to establish a working out of box conditions
-Sometimes newer drivers require latest Windows Updates

If you have a 2nd drive ....

8. Shut down and connect HD data cable to 2nd lowest numbered SATA port.

9. Boot to BIOS and make sure that SSD is the 1st boot device, if not fix it

10. Boot to Windows

Booting windows in Safe mode worked, sorry I must have pressed it at the wrong time the first time I tried it. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it

'' went into device manger and uninstalled the driver for there'' bad move never use device manager like NVidia that's is not supported or recommended [any NVidia driver release notes states this ]

uninstall through the programs and features and run the manufactures [amd / NVidia ] installer /uninstaller [again all in release notes and links to how to's ]

then it a dell but seeing the card works under the bios that's a good for now . sad thing is win-10 no telling what that malware is doing over you I cant help you there it does as it wants not as you do .. sorry

[should be close to the same for AMD on that]

secure boot may work if that came with the windows 8 bios installed by dell if it came with windows 7 from the factory it will not have that option and a non issue but we don't know dell offers at time 2 bios one for 7 and below and one for win-8 and above - i'll check its support

under change OS that model only show win-7 and below as supported OS's so secure boot should not be there to be at issue
