IT help needed badly!

[Tyler.adams]

My computer was working fine yesterday, but I shut it down overnight and when I try to turn it back on this morning it goes through bios and the windows loading screen then I get a no signal message on my monitor. I can still hear sounds through the headphones and the HDD activity light is still flashing. When I run the pc in safe mode everything seems to work fine. Temps are good and no weird noises. Please help. Specs included below. 

Intel i7 6700k 

MSi 980ti

G.skill 16gb x 4 ram 

EVGA 750gq 

Asus z170-a 

Samsung 850 Evo 250gb

Toshiba 500 gb HDD 

Hgst 500gb HDD

if it works in safe mode but it doesn't display a picture in normal boot then you could try roll back your drivers. go to safe mode and do a system restore to an earlier point in time.

If you connect the monitor to the mainboard, does the monitor display a picture?

You can then check if the 980Ti is still in the device manager and detechted correctly.

 

If its just a driver problem I'd suggest removing your old one with DDU and then perform a clean install.

The motherboard video seems to work the same as the 980ti. I did a system reset but still nothing.

I just tried that and it still does the same thing

My first question would be what OS (operating system) are you running?  Also what specific 980 do you have and what driver date are you running?

The above posts seem like they nailed it fingers crossed it sounds like a driver issue. (omfg I pray I didn't jinx it )

It should be an easy fix I personally prefer to update my GPU (graphics processing unit) manually to avoid this very scenario.  it should be noted that your onboard graphics may be disabled by default by having a GPU installed.

  let me confirm that your GPU is on and powering up IE: fans spinning up reading temps from the GPU

Seems to be some kind of problem of windows then, that it doesn't even load the driver for the grafic chip since its the same with the Intel Grafics.

I'd suggest going to safe mode and remove all gpu drivers with DDU from your system that are currently installed.

 

When the driver are removed reboot and try to boot normaly (should load on low resolution, since no driver is installed)

If that works fine, the chance is high that you can just install the newest driver and are good to go.

If you still have the same problem first I'd suggest you try to boot a live linux and take a look if that works fine and save all of you data.

After that I'd suggest a reinstall of Windows and if you copy your AppData folder to your new system and reinstall the programms all stettings should be like you left them on the old system.

So with everything a reinstall should take less then 3h. But maybe someone else has an idea how to patch your old system back together, but I personally wouldn't try fixing for too long if a reinstall is the faster and cleaner solution.

 

To get to the AppData folder just go to your drive Users/[your username]/AppData and copy all three folders (Local, Roaming and LocalLow)

Just copy them back to the same path on the new installation.

Default setting for pretty much every bios is "Auto" so the iGPU is disabled if no display is detected and is automatically enabled if a monitor is attached.
