The DVI output on my gtx 1060 stopped working after a windows factory reset. It only works when the drivers arent installed and the second the drivers are installed the dvi monitor loses signal and my hdmi ones turn on, help!

Just set up the monitors in windows again after installing drivers? Or like it just doesn't work at all once drivers are installed?

Maybe try taking the GPU out of the system for a while letting it fully discharge then putting it back in?

You could try a slightly older driver or something too.

You said your HDMi ports are working so presumably your're using multiple monitors. After you install your Nvidia drivers open the Nvidia control panel, click on setup multiple displays, refer to the screen shot below. If this doesn't work right click on your desktop and click display settings, there click detect and see if your missing monitor is detected.

Unfortunately nvidia control panel doesn't see it and the detect button does nothing.

Only HDMI works after drivers are installed other than in the bios. I tried the latest and slightly older drivers but nothing helped  how long would it need to discharge for? I have an extra display port to hdmi but it's not at home, might try that later.

And after you install the drivers you reset the PC as normal? and it still doesn't work at all after that?

You could try flashing a fresh bios on the GPU unless nvidia locked that down...may need a 2nd PCi-e slot and GPU for recovery in the rare event of a failure.

Otherwise your issue is kind of random and hard to figure out.

You can try the discharge thing after installing the driver then shutting down, shouldn't take more than 30 minutes as the capacitors aren't that big.
