332.21 Nvidia Drivers won't see my display on boot

[Regs]

I did a refresh install of windows thinking it was something I did and it did not help. Whatever is current with Nvidia's drivers are not seeing my display on boot. I see the Windows logo and hear the introduction welcome, then computer goes black with VGA/DVI not detected. I had to reboot into safe mode to remove the drivers and now I am back up and running. Kind of steamed that I just formatted and reinstalled everything with the same damn problem.

I get (and have always gotten, for as far as I can remember) something similar to this issue. When booting, after Windows loading screen is done, my screen goes into standby. I am assuming no signal. However, after I hear the intro music, it comes back and everything is fine.

How are you connected to your monitor, and do you have a second monitor to test with?

Win7 or win8/8.1?

Update your motherboard BIOS. It's an undocumented incompatibility with win 8.1 and many pre-win8.1 motherboards.

Had the issue this weekend.

Yikes. I checked Nvidia's forums and it looks like a growing problem.

Maybe it just does not like my monitor. I ll try the new beta drivers. I'm extremely pissed right now.

Are you serious? I wish I knew how to do that.

Mine stays blank.

Windows 7. It is weird since It was getting randomly worse since I installed the new card. Opened up BF4 in Firefox crashed my PC and then this. Though I am not sure since Nvidia was on auto-update.

Windows 7...

Ok, if you're on win 7, my tip may not work, but updating my motherboard bios worked for me this weekend with the newest Nvidia drivers and the exact same problem you had.

Not sure how this could happen out of the blue without updating anything serious. I plugged in a USB PC compatible USB PS3 controller for the first time and it must of killed something. The computer crashed after plugging it in and that's how this all started. Surely though the Windows install and format killed the device driver so if there was a conflict it should of got rid of it.

I am not sure how a USB device could wack out a motherboard like that. Maybe I should just try resetting the bios if the USB controller flipped out.

Hm. I saw in another forum someone had the same problem and had to reseat the graphics card on the mobo. I think you are right Termie. I think the mobo might put it in the alternate PCI-Express slot even though it isnt which might require bios update. I will see if re seating at least helps me for now until I get a hold of a pen drive to flash bios.

Yea, that worked. God damnit. I can't believe I just wiped everything for that. Def a conflict with USB device controller and PCI-E controller on the mobo. The USB device likely screwed up the order and it would not default it back without re seating it.

That's interesting - I had seen my USB devices fail at the same time as the video output upon the loading of Win8.1. I'm surprised it happened in Win7 too, and that reseating fixed the issue.

Well, anyone else having the problem - either try reseating, or else update your BIOS, which worked for me.
