Best thing to do at this point would be to contact evga to see if they may be able to fix your issue with a vbios update. http://www.evga.com/about/contactus/
Finally you show up! Hehe I've been waiting. Sajin is the main man around here.

Did some searching on the forums and found this... AlbertGr
Hi! I wan't to thank the EVGA support team!
Approximately one week ago I received my UEFI modified vBios for my GT640 card, and patched succesfully. My problem still persisted. I got a black screen (i.e. no video display) before booting into Windows 8.1. Only after the Windows driver was loaded and the logon screen was loaded, I got video display. As a result, boot (BIOS) displays were inaccessible (like the BIOS of my Acer, and booting into safe mode was impossible without visual display for example).
BUT: the SOLUTION for my problem was found!!
I had to SHUT DOWN my monitor (NEC Multisync LCD 2080UX+) completely (so not on standby, but really with the OFF button), THEN shut down my computer, THEN (while my monitor was STILL OFF) press the ON-button of my computer again, and THEN after approx. one second PUT my monitor back ON !! ... What happened was amazing: I suddenly got a Pre-BOOT display again!! And my monitor "remembered"the pre-win resolution and saved it into it's NVRAM, because after that magic trick I now can safely reset my computer I see a BIOS bootscreen, and Windows 8 is loading without problems ofcourse..
I hope the above trick for getting EVGA video display is some help for anyone having similar black-screen problems with their EVGA cards into their Acer computer. I have an Aspire M3985 computer, with a EVGA GT 640 video card (4GB DDR3 RAM) installed.
Thanks again for mailing me the latest UEFI Bios!
EZtouch you may want to give that a shot to see if it helps resolve your issue.

Turning on/off the screen at the mentioned timings and other timings/combinations did not solve the problem. Update: I've just visited my friend's house, he has the exact same monitor and motherboard model as mine, just an older bios (mine has the latest). I took my whole system with me. we tested the same port in the graphics card. We unboxed his new MSI 1060 and tested it on my system, and it worked just fine. Then we tested my 1080 on his system, and it worked just fine. Then we placed my 1080 in my system again, and it worked just fine! (did not change anything in the bios/hardware/system). if you were following this forum thread/topic, you would've seen that when I replaced my 1080 with my brother's 970 the issue was gone, restarting, shutting down, cold boot, nothing could reproduce the issue, until i did a windows update (security update to visual c++ redistributable) when the issue came back. the same thing happened now, when i place the 1060 in my system, then my 1080 back, the issue was gone once again, no beeps, no vg_led light that stays lit all the time, i can see and access the bios and safe mode. At the moment the issue is gone, but it could come back after a windows update/random restart. I know that I need to place another graphics card in my system, post it, shut it down, then place the 1080 back to fix the issue, but I think this is a temporary solution, since the issue came back yesterday. I think either the motherboard BIOS or the 1080's bios has a bug/issues.

Sounds like the main monitor don't like the bios on the 1080.

Soo... I restarted my PC just now and the issue is back... I tried restarting before (when the issue was temporarily fixed) and that did not reproduce the issue... now it happens every time.

Faulty monitor cable?? Pins bent in the connector?
Did you take your cable with you to your friends house?

No, I used his cable, the display works fine once Windows loads the display driver. Fairly certain it's a BIOS issue... I guess I will email evga to request an updated vbios

I've just sent support@evga.com the following email title: vbios update request to fix issues body: Dear evga support team, I have been having issues with my new GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid as you can see in the following forum thread: http://forums.evga.com/Help-me-get-my-new-1080-FTW-Hybrid-up-and-running-m2564247.aspx I called you and you went with me through the motherboard’s bios settings, and we change stuff but with no use. The evga forums moderator, Sajin recommended me to contact you to ask for a vbios update. http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2564816 Please supply me with update vbios with the most up to date GOP UEFI driver. My GOP version is from April, and the 1070 has just received an update with a GOP version from September. Hopefully the BIOS update for the graphics card resolves the issues. (Please make sure that the GOP driver version you provide me is the same or newer than the one that came with the 1070’s update bios, more details below). Note: it has master/slave so I will need two versions of the BIOS. More Information: My GOP details Nvidia GOP 0x30002 Variant 0x0000000000000007 = GP1xx Dated: Apr 1 2016 Changelist 20605201 The updated 1070 GOP details Nvidia GOP 0x30005 Variant 0x0000000000000007 = GP1xx Dated: Sep 12 2016 Changelist 21147289 Best regards, <name hidden>

Not sure it can be a bios issue when your friend has the same monitor and your card worked there on his.. maybe his monitor has a different firmware then yours or your monitor just won't save whatever info it senses off the gpu so it will work right with the hand shake.

We bought the monitors the same day, in the same cart. besides, the display works just fine on windows, its just that the uefi gop bios of the graphics card is unreadable by the motherboard... that's why there's no display before windows starts, I believe. Keep in mind, the 1080 did work fine on my system for a while, then the issue came back after a restart (nothing changed in the system).

Ok.. if the bios flash dont work I'd think about taking your monitor over your friends house with your cable and 1080 and slap the 1080 in his and try your monitor and see if he can get into the bios. Maybe swap monitors with him since there the same hehe. Anyways that's the weirdest issue I've read about.. hope ya get it figured out soon.

When you were using your card in your friends system did you ever restart his machine to see if it would black screen on his system?

My friend's system had an nvidia gtx 770 installed before, we removed it and installed my 1080 in its place, we tried restarting (both from case button and windows), shutting down, cold boot(after turning off psu power) and it worked fine just like my system after installing another card then the 1080 back. mine could not read the UEFI GOP BIOS of the 1080, then we put in another card (evga 970SC/MSI 1060), boot the system, shut it down, put the 1080 back and it works just fine (for a while). I suspect that the motherboard caches/reads the graphics card firmware/information and it expires after a certain period of time then the issue comes back.. the MSI 1060 and the evga 970SC worked just fine from first try, even when the issue existed, when installing the evga 970SC or MSI 1060, the motherboard reads their UEFI GOP BIOS just fine, then I put mine back in without changing anything and it works just fine (again, for a while), then the issue comes back randomly when my system is posting, and stays until I boot the system with another graphics card. Update: look at http://forums.evga.com/1080-FTW-non-CSM-boot-m2559407.aspxThere are two other people who have the same symptoms as me on their 1080 FTW, couldn't see boot sequence, no display until Windows loads with CSM disabled.

I don't understand the point.. are you saying this is some flaky 1080 ftw issue??
You did say your card worked perfectly in his system and monitor without your issues.
So in the end that tells me it must be something in your motherboard.
Old left over settings conflicting it from working correctly.
Pull the Motherboards cmos battery! Remove it and drain the caps by also unplugging the psu 24 pin connector and the 4/8 pin connector and hit the power button a few times on the case and still wait like 10 mins to be sure.
Put the battery back in as one would think now it would wipe any past saved settings and try again.

It worked in his system because he had another card installed before (770), for me if i install another card then the 1080 the issue is gone for me too (for a few hours). I did remove the cmos battery, turn off the PSU, turn on the pc to reset the pc and clear the bios settings, i even had it unplugged for 1-2 hours, all the bios settings did reset. This might be relevant:- that person has an evga 1080 FE, he had a 970 with no issues, isntalled 1080 black screen, reseted bios with 1080 issue did not go, installed 970 and reseted bios then put the 1080 back and his issue is gone. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/957634/geforce-1000-series/brand-new-1080-founders-edition-and-no-signal-fixed-/1/

Looked like his black screen fix was to reset the mb bios (pulled cmos batttery) and load optimised default settings and reinstall the 1080.
Still could be an issue with another setting on the board like do you have the main gfx set to pcie or built in as in the gpu built into the cpu?
I believe there's a setting to turn off the built in gpu. I think there was on my z97 board but don't see the option on my z170 but just an option to choose the main display on built in or pcie.

Already tried turning the igpu off without success. /that person said he reseted the bios but it didn't work, the issue did not go, then he plugged in a 970 and he saw the boot sequence, then when he put the 1080 back the issue went away.

Well when I had my many 1080s "12" (as I was exchanging them left and right trying to settle with a set for sli to settle with) I only remember encountering a simular issue early on. I first got 2 zotac 1080 amp cards. When testing them 1 by 1 I encountered the black screen issue where it wouldn't turn on the screen, just stay black.
I was using the display port and there were like 3 ports and I would swap ports and it would finally come on. It wouldn't happen everytime. Sometimes I had to unplug the cord from the card and reinsert it over and over and wait for the display to turn on.
Was thinking it may be a bad port on the card though later on just figured it was some kind of hand shake issue.
This also happend with the next set of 1080s. The pny fe 1080. With it happening on different cards I figured yeah it was some hand shake issue with the card to the monitor. Sometimes I'd even turn the power on and off on the monitor to get it to work. Was annoying.. then I exchanging them for evga fe cards cause I wanted to put water blocks on them and evga was cool with that and on pny it would void the warranty.
Same thing would happen with them with the once in awhile black screen trying to turn the system on. Sometimes I even gave up and turned the power off on the pc and powered on to get it working.
Anyways I finally upgraded the bios on the motherboard "asus maximus hero vII z97 and for the first time I seen a 1080 bios post screen I never noticed prior. Was strange.
Figured it was just some fast boot setting I was using prior on the older bios that I was not using this time on the newer bios.
Anyways never experienced an issue after that bios upgrade so maybe it fixed it or it was not using fast boot.
On the new motherboard asus maximus hero VIII alpha Z170 I never see the 1080 post screen either though I don't see a fast boot option either.. could be there? Anyways all I see is the asus post screen graphics and then the windows log in screen.
The z170 is known for booting slower then the z97 even though I'm now also using a faster samsung 950 pro m.2 drive.

I believe there's a setting to turn off the built in gpu. I think there was on my z97 board but don't see the option on my z170 but just an option to choose the main display on built in or pcie.

What I took from it is that he feels the clearing of the cmos and slapping the 970 back in and getting into Windows and uninstslling the prior gpu drivers using DDU and then installing the 1080 and seeing it post for the first time he felt that fixed it.. though we all know uninstallling the drivers first didn't fix it but it's obviously the right move to uninstall the old drivers first anyways when replacing a card so it won't interfer with the new card. So you feel since he put the 970 back in the mb and held the cards bios so when he put the new 1080 in it worked cause it was still holding the info from the old card and eventually won't work soon after again't cause it will loose the old info. I'm not sure that's how it all works. Would think the only info being passed is from the card to the monitor but yeah the motherboard would be allowing the card to send it.

Looked like his black screen fix was to reset the mb bios (pulled cmos batttery) and load optimised default settings and reinstall the 1080.
Still could be an issue with another setting on the board like do you have the main gfx set to pcie or built in as in the gpu built into the cpu?
I believe there's a setting to turn off the built in gpu. I think there was on my z97 board but don't see the option on my z170 but just an option to choose the main display on built in or pcie.
Already tried turning the igpu off without success. /that person said he reseted the bios but it didn't work, the issue did not go, then he plugged in a 970 and he saw the boot sequence, then when he put the 1080 back the issue went away.
What I took from it is that he feels the clearing of the cmos and slapping the 970 back in and getting into Windows and uninstslling the prior gpu drivers using DDU and then installing the 1080 and seeing it post for the first time he felt that fixed it.. though we all know uninstallling the drivers first didn't fix it but it's obviously the right move to uninstall the old drivers first anyways when replacing a card so it won't interfer with the new card.
So you feel since he put the 970 back in the mb and held the cards bios so when he put the new 1080 in it worked cause it was still holding the info from the old card and eventually won't work soon after again't cause it will loose the old info.
I'm not sure that's how it all works. Would think the only info being passed is from the card to the monitor but yeah the motherboard would be allowing the card to send it.
I believe that he had an older driver (see post time), which did not support the 1080. As he was without a working GOP driver, the windows basic driver did not load up. Then he booted with the 970's GOP driver (which the NVIDIA driver took over after windows load) and upgraded his driver to the one which supports the 1080. Now, even if he faces the same issue, he got the NVIDIA driver available after loading windows to take over the GPU. I think your issue is very similar to his and most likely the same. Did he mentioned the motherboard which he uses, if its ASUS as well, it might be better to inform ASUS of this issue as well. Never the less, EVGA is the current maker of the GPU for all similar issues, yours, the few you linked before, and his.

So I thought the only issue was that I couldn't access the UEFI BIOS settings, safemode and advanced startup settings when the issue happens.... But now this happened: I was using Windows 10, I had google chrome opened I left my pc for a while (probably 1 hour) I came back to it, the screen was black, I thought it was on standby, so i moved the mouse, clicked on the keyboard, still HDMI1 no signal... I tried pinging my pc using its name and IP, but it was unreachable (I use a static IP)... So I had to turn it off using the power button on my case, and when I clicked on it again to turn it on, I heared only one beep (I used to hear 3 beeps and the 1080 wouldn't show the boot sequence), I thought maybe the issue fixed itself, but it is worse now. I waited and waited, I cannot ping it, I think it's not posting now... I did not change anything. I will try to do a cold boot and see if that helps. Update: turning off the PSU and powering on the pc to clear the energy for a cold boot, then starting the system DID NOT solve the problem. Again, I was on Windows 10, then it black screened/crashed and I can't ping my pc anymore, then it can't post anymore, did not change anything in the hardware, software, settings anywhere.

That sucks.. now it's like what's dead.. cpu/mb? Unplug everything you don't need to post.
Though you can try another gpu to make sure it's not that.

Sorry to hear that. Remove the gpu, clear the cmos & try booting off the igpu. The solution to accessing uefi bios settings, safe mode & advanced startup settings... http://www.tenforums.com/...side-windows-10-a.html

removed the 1080 plugged in the 970 the bios recovered automatically to the default settings after installing the 970 reseting the settings of the bios now by removing the cmos battery just to be extra sure that everything is reset configuring the bios setings back to how they were using the 970 Downgraded the motherboard BIOS version to a MUCH older version, will see if the issue comes back in the old bios version plugged in the 1080 back I've analysed the memory dump, and it appears that the plexturbo software was responsible for crashing windows, I think it rebooted into advanced startup after the crash, and that's why it stayed a black screen, as the hybrid's issue causes the motherboard to be unable to read the gop uefi driver. I've uninstalled the software so hopefully no more crashes. @Sajin when the issue happens, and the UEFI BIOS of the hybrid is not loaded, I will be stuck if I try to access safe mode/advanced startup settings, and I will have to pull out the CMOS battery to enable CSM which emulates the legacy BIOS, then turn it off and setup the boot devices to be able to get back to Windows I'm now running benchmarks / stress test applications (unigine valley, heaven, 3dmark, gta v), I will let it run for a while (at the moment the issue is not present), then I will lock the pc, and from the lock screen I will click restart (again, I'm now on a MUCH older motherboard BIOS version) and see if the issue comes back anytime soon. At the moment the issue is not present, no beeps, no VGA_LED that stays lit all the time.

Just something to note, have the exact same issue with my GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid here I have had it boot once but on reboot after installing new drivers, no post. tried three other systems, same issues. GTX 550 ti, 790 ti, 950 all work but the 1080 does not. There is something wrong with I would say there is something up with some of the 1080 FTW Hybrid cards. I tried running it in a Z87-WS (Mine) h170m-plus (Testbench) z170m-plus (work system) and a z87-gryphon (Work system). All had issues. the Z87-WS have failed to boot it, the ws once. Booted with CSM on after a complete cmos reset but have not been able to replicate the issue. I believe there was one more person with the same issue in France that posted a week or 2 ago about it. Seems OP is able to get his to post now and then but I'm having no luck. Anyone know if EVGA knows about this specific issue? Unrelated to the black screen 100% fan issue. Would be interesting to know if OP can boot with a second card installed (If the motherboard has a second 8x slot) and see if the GPU has an error in mine when viewing it in device manager. Error Code: 43 I even went as far as updating the individual modules in the bios and flashing a completely custom bios because ASUS abandoned my board after just under a year

And the issue is back! :( No hardware/software/configuration was changed. VGA_LED lit all the time. Beeps: beep beeeep beep beep beep Cannot see boot sequence/no display before windows loads. The motherboard cannot read the UEFI driver of the hybrid 1080, therefore no display, until windows loads the driver If I try to access safe mode I will not have display. I only have display when windows is loaded. Update: removed the display cable from the graphics card turned on the pc (no display connected), same vga_led lit all the time and the beeps stayed the same turned it off connected the display back to the hybrid 1080 turned it on, this time no beeps... but also no display, and can't ping the pc, seems like its not posting.. restarting it or turning it off did not help. cold boot did not help either. no display, cannot ping the pc.. I will have to reset pull out the cmos battery again I guess Update2: It seems to me like there is a bug/issue in caching things.. 1080 installed (MB cannot read its UEFI bios), vga_led lit all the time, issue#1 install 1060 in place of 1080, boot, no issues install the 1080 back, issue#1 is gone next day turn on the system/cold boot it issue#1 is back try going into safe mode/ or booting without display cable connected and the system will not post/cannot see anything, issue#2 plug the display back into the 1080, still no display and no post... issue#2 reset the bios by pulling out the CMOS battery, then configure exactly the same settings as before issue#1 is back plug in any other card in place of the 1080 (tried evga 970sc and msi1060) turn on the system, no issues turn it off, place the 1080 back issue#1 is gone repeat..

Update:
For 3 weeks I've been using an MSI 1060 on my system now, not a single issue.
Today I plugged in my 1080 FTW Hybrid back, same port, same monitor, same system, red vga_led light lit all the time, beeps that mean "no VGA" according to ASUS' website.
Restart, shutdown, coldboot, the issue persists. Can't see anything on screen before windows loads.
I turned off the PC, and this time plugged in an HDMI cable instead of DVI, no red lights, no beeps... looking good
I will continue monitoring the system to see if the issue does came back on HDMI.
I'm suspecting that the 1080's DVI port has an issue or the BIOS of the 1080 has an issue with this specific port. the monitor and cable did work with the 1060, and my system worked flawlessly with it; it supports pascal GPUs.

The issue did not come back on the HDMI port yet. On other news, it seems that I have around 25GB of graphics memory
