Thanks for the fast reply
Yes I unplugged the HDMI cable, (that I use for my internal graphics), before booting and I am able to see the bios flash screen through the DP port on the EVGA.
(I have tried leaving both in and I still see the BIOS flash screen on the DP port of the Evga.
I have tried just plugging in the HDMI cable and I see nothing while the Evga 980 is installed)
Yes I have tried resetting the CMOS.
When I do not have the Evga card in, (and HDMI is connected to the onboard HDMI), if I power on the power supply and then short the reset CMOS, I hear one beep and then get shown a menu suggesting I load optimised defaults and reboot, (or load default and boot, or enter bios)
I choose to load and reboot, it beeps once more during reboot and I am at Windows 10
With the Evga card in, if I do the same thing with the Evga I get the same initial beep and I see the Gigabyte splash graphic
25 seconds later I get a second beep, (the splash screen is still showing)
I get the same at 55,
at 1:25 the screen goes blank
Numlock continues to work on my keyboard, (nothing else does anything useful
Sometimes one of the fans speeds up or slows down a little suggesting the bios is running it's fan control routines
