EVGA GTX 780 ACX Failure after Driver Update

[oli4591]

Help!!! I'm having a crisis. After installing a driver update through GeForce Experience my pc "tripped" in a way 2 minutes after. I then turned my pc back on and the graphics card was not giving out a video output. Just two black, standby monitors. If I remove the graphics card and use onboard graphics then I can use my pc but as soon as I put the card back i loose video whilst the rest of the pc carries on as normal. I have reinstalled and uninstalled the drivers several times several ways but still no luck! Please help!!! 

 

Thanks

did you try reinstalling an older driver version? I had a similar problem with my 980 but once I installed a few version old driver it worked perfectly

I tried. Unfortunately however it would not let me install it without the graphics card in the system which I can't do.

I would say install the GPU but before you do, go into the BIOS and set the PC to use the iGPU instead of the PCIe GPU. Then, download and install the drivers since the card is installed in the system and it should work once you restart and set the PC to use the PCIe GPU in the BIOS

Yes. It's the only way to get it to work

Ok. I have tried that and I have got it booted with the card installed but not active. I tried to install the drivers but I still get this...

Cool. I'll try that

Update. The card is fine. I put it in another system and it worked fine. It's not my PSU either or the cables from my PSU to the card. This make it easier?

Use DDU in safe mode to uninstall the Nvidia drivers.

Like I asked before, is the card even showing up in the device manager?

No as I can't use my pc with the card active. I have to use onboard graphics so it doesn't show up in device manager
