[HELP] NOOB HERE My screen goes black after driver install

[pachuchon]

Hi there

I did a fresh windows 10 install, all the hardware is new, yet when I install the nvidia drivers (372.54 version as recomended for claymore) during the installation the screen goes black  needless to say but my monitor was conected into the hdmi port of the gpu.

I believe I read somewhere that first you must conect the monitor into the integrated video card, disable it, and then proceed to do the installation of the drivers, is this correct?

any suggestions? im a newbie, be patient please.

Err. You might want to post this problem on the Nvidia forums instead? This is a Bitcoin Beginners & Help forum.

Why do you ask this question here? Please find forums that specialize in your question.

As mentioned before, this might be the wrong forum for you. It's at least the wrong one for this kind of question.

Nevertheless:

I believe I read somewhere that first you must conect the monitor into the integrated video card, disable it, and then proceed to do the installation of the drivers, is this correct?

Be sure that you chose the correct driver for your card. It's irrelevant whether the monitor is connected or not if you get a black screen, there is a driver issue (or you chose the wrong resolution resp. refresh rate).

As you didn't specify which card you've got, if it's an older one you also might need an older driver. When posting your question in another forum, give them this info, it's kind of crucial for someone who wants to help you  


PS: It would be great if you could close your thread. Bottom left

It does relate with mining because this gpu (gtx 1060) was intentionally purchased for that purpose. That been said, also I read here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0
(more specifically "10xx cards in Windows 10 x64: just use latest 372.54 drivers from Nvidia website, note that you must have Win10 Anniversary update")

I installed that specific driver "372.54", and I think there are lot much newers but since in that guide implies that I "must" use that, well I just install that.

May be is not the right place to post this but it does belong here because it for mining.

If Im still wrong, please let me know and I will shut this post.

Sorry again.

If you are using a graphics card from AMD or NVIDIA and found that after installing the latest drivers of your monitor screen dark or black, there are several possible causes. Problems can occur in hardware, this is hopefully not the cause or problem lies in the driver you just installed.

This dark screen is likely to be affected by backlight from dead or dim monitor after AMD driver installation. To make sure this is not a hardware malfunction, please try to get into Safe Mode in Windows. How to access Safe Mode is by pressing F8 during Windows loading, and select Boot into Safe Mode.
