I just installed a brand new GTX 460 768mb. When i first put it in its fine, but when i installed the drivers the damn thing stops giving a signal after the windows starting screen.
I have reseated. I have reset the CMOS, I have uninstalled all other video drivers. |

I can get into safe mode. When starting up normally It gets to the starting widnows screen, then goes to load the desktop but I get a black screen and my monitor says n o signal.
Its ot resolution either. My monitor accepts every strange resolution if it doesmt like the resolution it will say incompatible. |

Definitely a resolution problem. Safe mode uses a very low resolution and you likely have a very high resolution when you boot Windows normally. Try a larger monitor or lower resolution in normal mode. |
Try going into safe mode and reinstalling the drivers.|
Any luck in safe mode? Nevermind I didn't read far enough. Try this: http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ |

I'd start all over again.
Boot into safe mode with networking, download and install driver cleaner pro. Run driver cleaner, remove nvidia driver. Download latest drivers from nvidia. Boot into normal mode, leave the "found new hardware" window in background and then run the latest nvidia driver you downloaded. |

Worth a shot, However, when I first got Windows 7 the "newer" drivers were the ones that caused the issues and the older ones were fine. |

Did a clean install of windows 7 x64 Pro. Worked fine. When I installed the Nvidia drivers and the PC restarted, the signal went dead again right after the "starting windows" screen.
There is a whole 30+ page thread in Nvidia's forum about this exact issue. Apparently there is a compatibility issue with the GTX series, yet Nvidia doesnt advertise it. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=187401&st=0 |
