GTX 960 - Black screen

Hey,

I bought myself a Gigabyte GTX 960. Today I installed them in my case and Windows boots but with a black screen. Windows Sounds etc. could still be heard.

HDMI, DisplayPort, etc. tried everything: Black screen only. Not even BIOS shows anything.

 

I read in a forum that a BIOS reset could fixx it all. I did that. IF I START MY PC NOW:  I get 2 short beeps. According to Wikipedia: "Error of the graphics card."

 

PCIe slot is in place. Power Connector are all in there. Power supply is also sufficient. But I can think of nothing that I could do.

Any idea?

Let's assume that this is not the case..

If you can, move it to another PCIe slot.

Test it in a friend's PC :)

I encountered something EXTREMELY wierd.

I built in my old card and NOW the exact same error came up: 2 Short beeps. Somehow I managed it to fuck the entire PC.

Unlucky for me: Wikipedia describes 2 beeps as "unknown error. Details on display".

I don't know what this machine wants from me. I just want it too work again.

For the record: The graphics card seem to work. Fans are on and windows has booted before. The motherboard is somehow malfunctioning :(

Can you boot into Safe Mode?

LOL? How can I boot to safe mode if I can't even pass the Bios POST?

Forgot you reset the BIOS and have this new issue. Your video card may be bricked.

No. My old card doesn't work anymore too. So I guess that GTX is completely FINE.

Then I guess your motherboard is having issues.

But why? My old card ran perfectly fine. I installed now a pretty high upgrade and the screen is black. So I took my old card back and this one suddendly doesn't work aswell. WTF.

Can you post all of your specs?
