EVGA GTX 1060 not displaying, but is recognized by the system.

Troubleshooting

I have a GTX 1060 that recently stopped working on me, and of course this happened outside of it's warranty period.

The card has no display signal, but is recognized in Computer Management and Task Manager. I know it's working because I've booted it while the display was plugged in to the GPU, and was able to remote in and see it was in fact displaying and using the GPU and not integrated graphics. I've tried all of the DP Ports (tried 2 separate cables, and made sure the second one was high quality and not feeding the monitor 5V), as well as the HDMI and DVI ports. None will display.

I've tried all possible PCI-E slots and have reinstalled drivers multiple times, including installing older drivers from when I knew the system was good.

  • GPU Current Display Driver: 398.36

  • GPU Current BIOS: 86.06.39.00.60

I purchased and built the machine in February of 2017. It's been working great until this happened.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You tried restarting the system after installing?

Multiple reboots, tried every configuration possible of cords and PCI-E slots.

I had the same issue and have the same monitor. after reboots, bios updates, fresh windows install, and hours wasted... all you need to do is turn off monitor, unplug power cord for about a minute or two and plug back in. Hopefully that solves it and you dont waste too much time

Did that too as I've run into it before. The HDMI works on the integrated graphics, but not on the 1060. And the DVI I tried is a totally separate monitor.

Does it say you’re using the gpu output in dxdiag and dev manager? Or Microsoft basic?
