I just bought 1060 graphics card from EVGA. As this card dont support vga. I bought new hdmi cable. now when i installed it . Every thing was fine but after driver got installed and machine restarted , i am not getting display any more. Sometime display comes but till windows is loading then again no signal. mob is gigabyte b75 with latest bios.

Why is it happening.

i am using dell 2240l monitor with hdmi.
I feel the resolution is not supported that gfx card is sending.

Seems like a driver compatibility issue. As you said, no video o/p after installing new driver.

Try to log into system using safe mode and uninstall / roll-back the GPU driver.

Or try to get the video o/p directly from Motherboard, if it has the connection for video

Is it necessary while installing GPU (or 1st time computer installation) that first setup all things using motherboard video connection??

Nope. In fact some setups don't even had iGPU and need a discrete class GPU for video output.

I would suggest you to connect the display on motherboard's VGA/HDMI port and then boot into BIOS. Disable GPU from there.
Boot to windows and clean un-install the nVidia driver.
Download a stable but older and different release of the driver.
Reboot, enable the video card, boot again and this time connect through 1060's hdmi port.
Install the drivers and see if this works.

a friend said hyundai elite e20 is not compatible with old neighbourhood petrol pump as it is the latest model with latest engine.

HDMI :: Manufacturer :: HDMI 2.0 :: FAQ for HDMI 2.0
Is HDMI 2.0 backwards compatible with HDMI 1.x?
Yes, all HDMI versions are fully backward compatible with all previous versions.

Instead of listening to "friends/shopkeepers" always do some research first.The first thing I would have asked is which version of windows is installed on the system & if answer is win 10(any version) then i would have suggested to try with win 7/8.1.

Try different drivers starting from the latest one from nvidia site.Another sure way to check is by testing card in another pc.

I am running Dell ST2220L with HDMI 2.0 using GTX950 and there is no issues at all.
I have Win 10 as my OS.

Also tell which power supply you are using. Chances are that the GPU is unable to draw enough power.

Hmm. Could be faulty PSU too perhaps?

I think the graphic driver is unable to detect the monitor correctly so it's setting some abnormal resolution / refresh rate and that's why display is not coming.

In that case rebooting into safe mode should solve the problem.

Yes,

1. rebooting into safe mode and setting the resolution there
2. boot into VGA mode or low resolution mode and set the correct resolution from there may also work
3. Op can also try disabling the onboard display adapter from Device Manager ( Under Display Adapters )

so you got it to work via DVI-HDMI converter?

What about the native HDMI output? Does that still not work?

Your monitor only has HDMI port? It's better to use DVI-VGA converter. The graphics card usually comes with that converter. You may not want to use the HDMI port.

Nope there is vast improvement in pic quality. my 7770 use to run by dvi -i to vga converter. this is the first time i m running the monitor with digital signal and things are beautiful.
The problem was when i was using hdmi to hdmi after installing driver it was taking a resolution way above. its support by monitor thats why message use to come need resolution 1900*1080 at 60
in this wire after installing driver n restarting the default resolution it took was that .
thats my thought though.
