Hi! Today I installed a new Palit GTX 1660 to replace my old GTS 250. Following advice read on this forum, I used the DDU in safe mode to completely remove the previous installation, and downloaded and installed the latest driver. However, as soon as the new driver is installed, the screen goes black and I get a No Signal message. When I reboot I always get the no signal again just after the Windows logo.
I tried several things: updating BIOS, resetting CMOS, latest drivers downloaded both from the Palit website and directly from Nvidia, two other driver versions from a few months ago - every time with the same result.
My system is a custom build from 9 years ago and I decided to upgrade the GPU first, before eventually passing on to the motherboard and CPU, since it was lately giving me errors especially when starting up my PC (beep code errors, sometimes with strange squeaky noises, freezes and no signal during startup and during the initial minutes after startup).
Unfortunately, I had to reinstall my GTS 250 since I could not get the new 1660 to boot properly after the driver installation. Any advice would be appreciated since I am now at a loss as to what to try next!
These are my specs:
