I upgraded to the gtx 1060 3gb.
After I installed it, I tried booting my PC and it got stuck in a POST loop with a black screen.
My mobo will beep, try to post, then beep again, then try to post again ect.
I let it sit in this loop for a few minutes and then I got the mobo code '4E' (Initialize APIC and set MTRR) and my monitor finally had the POST text (it was always black before this). Then after a few seconds stuck in 4E, it boots again and so on.
Tried re-seating the card, tried clearing CMOS, tried using a different power cable, tried wiping the old drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). tried installing in another pcie slot, with no avail.
I plugged in my old card (gtx 285) and everything posted normally.
My rig:
Win7
evga 790i Ultra A1 (BIOS p08)
q9550 @3.9
12 gigs dominator GT @2000mhs
evga gtx 285 2gb
samsung 850 evo
pc power&cooling 750 watt psu
any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
