[Resolved!] No signal with old/new drivers after using DDU
Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2017 10:22 am
Hi. Normally, I don't start posts asking questions that others have already asked everywhere else, but I am reaching the end of my rope here.
I am running:
Intel Core i5 4460 Processor
Gigabyte Technology Z97X-Gaming 5 Motherboard
8 Gigs of RAM
600 watt power supply
My old video card was the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, it was getting on in years (2 more or less) and I decided to upgrade. I got the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC and was eager to get it up and running. Having heard a recommendation to use the Display Driver Uninstaller to clear out the old driver, I tried it. And that is when crap went South.
Right after I agree to run DDU in safe mode, my computer restarts in Safe Mode. The catch is that my monitor is no longer receiving a signal after I clicked that button. I didn't think anything of it at the time. So I shut off my computer by holding the power button, unplug the machine, get the new video card in, hook the power back up, turn on my computer... only to have my screen flashing no signal in my face. Well, ****. Swapping the old card back in didn't do dick all. Whenever I have any video card plugged into the motherboard, I never get any signal to connect to my monitors. So now I am running off of my processor's capacity, which already crapped out on me once already. I can't get the old drivers software back on without the driver being read. My backups ain't doing dick all for me. Running in Safe Mode does nothing. I don't have an option to switch to PCI-E or anything from startup/BIOS/whatever.
Trying to work with DDU some more does nothing to help my cause. There isn't any undo button, and I don't have any leads on how to fix this problem. Really not looking forward to formatting my computer...again.
If I could get any suggestions to get my old driver up and running, or someone knows a way to get the motherboard to register video cards again, I might be able to work it from there. Until then, my gaming rig is sorely lacking without a damn video card to work with.
Thank you for your time.
