Hi,
The issue is that the screen turns black after Windows loading – not “no signal” and not before loading Windows (I can get to the BIOS and safe mode) Everything other than the video seems to run perfectly fine in the background – I can hear system sounds and the IPS display is just projecting a black screen. (it is on)
If I uninstall the driver in Safe Mode or even format the SSD, clean install new Windows, clear CMOS, it works until I install the Nvidia driver again (or when Windows update installs the driver) The screen seems to turn black as soon as output is changed to 4k. Before that happens, I can see very faint vertical lines. (not black bars, but thin lines where the monitor seems to be displaying lower opacity)
It is very strange because I have had the GPU serviced by Amazon – they returned the GPU and said they “fixed” it.
I have been using my laptop with the same monitor and HDMI cable and I get crisp 4K image from it. The problem also occurs with an HDMI and Display cable from the GPU.
Last weekend I took my GPU, ram and SSD to a friend’s house where we tested them in his PC and they all seemed to work fine, although we only tested outputting 1080p image. We were not seeing the vertical lines at any point. Therefore, I assumed it was the Motherboard / PCIE slot, as I thought it was the only part I hadn’t tested, so I bought a new motherboard and basically re-build my PC in it last night, which of course did not help…
I have tried replacing the 8pin cable from the modular PSU, but haven’t tested with another PSU. It’s a 200W GPU and a 65W CPU on a 850W PSU, so it couldn’t be an insufficient power draw?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been unable to get to the bottom of this for nearly a month...
