Black screen, new 1080

[hotcoolfool11]

My 1080 just arrived and as always i was excited. I uninstalled all my AMD drivers, audio etc. Then i installed my 1080 but now its just a black screen. What must i do?

[kurtstir]

All drivers for 1080 are up to date with geforce experience?

Did you select the right OS when downloading the drivers?

Also are there any popping noises or whining when the computer is booted

Ok, I assume you did this: PC off > Put in GTX 1080 > Turn PC on > Download Drivers from GeForce Drivers page > Install Drivers > Turn PC off > Turn PC on > Black screen. Is this sequence correct? If not, could you provide the exact sequence?

Not at all

I would try to re-seat the card, and check the cables.

 

You should still be able to get a picture, even without the Nvidia drivers.

U know what, this might be the problem, i had a MSI r9 390 and it had a 8 and a 6 pin, now what i did is just connect the 8 pin and i hid the 6 pin. Could that be the problem?
