January 17, 201412 yr Trying to switch from ATI to Nvidia but so far Im not having a pleasant experience. Installed a brand new evga gtx780 but when I try to install drivers it tries to reboot and then it just will not send a signal to my monitor. Stuck my ATI back in the same slot and everything works fine. Ive reseated the card three times, made sure the pins are connected properly, put the ati in to uninstall all nvidia software and started from scratch.... nothing seems to work. Just wondering if im missing something before I contact Amazon for a new card. The fans are turning on the card so I know its getting power, also im connecting through hdmi if that makes any difference.
January 19, 201412 yr Tried a BIOS update? I had the same kind of experience and that fixed it for me; although I was moving from Nvidia to Nvidia.

January 19, 201412 yr When I first turned my 780 on, only the DVI output worked (HDMI seemed dead and I had the same fear as you). Once I got booted into Windoze, the nVidia driver seemed to do whatever it needed to in order to activate HDMI on the firmware. All the ports work as expected now, but I had to boot with a single monitor on the DVI the first time around.
January 20, 201412 yr Author Yeah my bios is the latest version and unfortunately hdmi is the only way I can hook up my monitor. Hate to try for a windows reinstall but if the card amazon sends me tomorrow doesn't work I guess I'll try that
January 20, 201412 yr I had to make a change in my BIOS configuration to get my EVGA GTX 680 to fire up. It was driving one of the video ports on the MOBO and had to be stroked into routing to the new GPU.

All the ports work as expected now, but I had to boot with a single monitor on the DVI the first time around. This was half of my problem, Thanks for your suggestion. I borrowed a friends monitor and sure enough DVI worked. After a driver update the problem came about again. After hours of scratching my head, holding my mouth just right and wasted time on three tech support calls to evga... I figured out my onkyo receiver was the problem. For whatever reason the GTX doesnt like it like my ATI did so now i have to come up with a solution for audio. This card had better kick a**.
