No signal after drivers

[BennyKG]

Hello,

I have recently bought a GTX 770 twin frozr (2gb) and it has a problem: it works fine without drivers, but after installing the drivers, when I turn off the pc, screen loses signal before the " sign in " stage. I have tried deleting the drivers with DDU and reinstalling them, flashing a new bios with nvflash and reinstalling windows. Anything else I can try?

Connect your display to the motherbd video outputs if you have them and see if you have a display there. If so then your 770 is being treated as the secondary adapter. You can use it like that if you have another display but if you want it to be the primary adapter you need to change the setting 'GPU to initialize First' (or similar to that) to PCIE, PEG, Or Add-in. (something to that effect)

Ok, I have tried many solutions ( pretty much any solution that I could find on Tom's Hardware ) and I got the brilliant idea of looking on the PCB , to see if there are any SMDs missing. Now, I've noticed 7 capacitors are missing! How would I go about replacing them? I've contacted MSI to ask them if they were willing to tell me the name of the capacitors, and they wouldn't, as it is "inside information".

Also, I have tried this and it doesn't work. Windows does seem to be working in the background though. And my guess was that it works without the drivers because I would be inclined to believe that it uses system ram as Vram, but the moment I install the drivers, it switches to vram , where the capacitors are missing.
