Hello, I just built a build with

Asrock extreme 4 z77
i5 3570k
8gb 1600 Gskill ram
Gigabyte gtx 670
VH236H asus monitor
(that's it for vital information)

Whenever I boot the computer, it successfully boots but there is no monitor signal at all (DVI/VGA/HDMI) I have tried to move the cables from the video card directly to the mobo slots but nothing changes.

It has successfully sent out signal on occasion a few hour earlier (maybe 1/3 boots, in fact the computer no longer shuts down whenever I hit the power button but that's a problem for later) but now it will not send any signal out all. I had just installed the latest nvidia drivers and a few drivers Asrock provided as well as installing all windows updates. I have no idea what to do.

Sorry if this is kind of in the wrong section.

Hey try this , start ur pc but do not turn ur monitor on after 2 min or so switch it on. This technique works for my frend.
remember : monitor must be turned on after 2-3 min.
monitor must not be connected in ups plug it in different plug.

Ok I ...

Pulled out the 670. It boots fine and I get display signal (with the onboard graphics)
Put the 670 back in. No signal
Moved the 670 to the other PCI3 slot... the mobo doesnt detect the card.
Then I went into the bios and set the PCI 3 speed to Gen1 (don't really know what that means) and plugged the 670 in, no signal
Used the cables that came with the card (molex to 6/8 pin) still no signal

Is this a dead card?
