Did you select the right OS when downloading the drivers?

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? :)

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?
