What is going on here!?!?

[EmAn]

I just got home from a friends house and I'll begin troubleshooting shortly....

Also I am gonna try the other PCI-E 6pin power connector.

Alright so I have tried more things

Power pin swap - no go
uninstall Rivatuner - no go (i havn't overclocked the card either)
disable driver signing - no go
uninstall drivers - good
scrub with DriverCleaner - good
install drivers - no go
disable drivers in safe mode and boot into normal - good
enable drivers and reboot - no go


I think it may be these particular drivers... Forceware 169.25 (released December 20, 2007)

where can I get a hold of some older drivers to test out?

I had something like that with a new build lately. For me it was the monitor drivers that came with my 22" . I had to uninstall in safe mode and go with generic monitor drivers to solve the screen going black in Vista. I was also able to replicate the conflict on a xp comp using the monitor drivers with the same forceware drivers.

thanks I'll give that a try!


:edited in

I cannot find where to uninstall the monitor drivers and it will not recognize what the monitor is with the GFX card's drivers disabled or when i am in safe mode

have you set your monitor back to 60hz? or made sure its set to 60hz!

that sounds like your problem to me!

when I renable the drivers in normal mode it wont let me adjust the resolution until I reboot... Then I get a blank screen


For the other person reccommending me to adjust the hz of the monitor

should I do it from the monitor as it wont let me do it through windows until the nvidia drivers are running

My monitor wont let me set it to 60hz and when I enable the drivers to try and change my refresh rate it goes black on startup

I have a DMM and I am measuring my rails...

12v at 12.36 (idle) 12.34 (load) same across the rails as far as I can tell

5v at 5.06 (idle) 5.07 (load)

these are different then when i tested them last...

something is going on there!

I have been talking with ocz and I have something lined up for this psu

Did you recently switch monitors? If you go from a higher res to a lower one, you can go beyond your monitor's range which just shows up as a blank screen like you're describing. Not likely, but worth crossing off the list.

It is the same monitor

HANNS-G HW191DPB 1440x900 native and the refresh rate was set to auto while it worked

 

[EmAn]

alright... this is now very annoying!

I have totally reinstalled vista... it worked up until i installed the drivers...

(I have tried 32 and 64 bit respectively to their os and it does the same on both)

I was hoping to have this running by this saturday for some BPA gaming action
