Problem description: I purchased a new EVGA GeForce GTX 750 TI to replace a failing 550 TI. I installed it, and turned on my machine. Windows detected the hardware change, correctly identified the device in device manager, and then automatically installed the drivers. Upon restart, my machine makes it to the Windows starting screen, then goes completely black. To get the machine to do anything, I have to start in safe mode (which I think bypasses the drivers for the card?). Attempted fixes: Per the only useful advice I could find on Google, I uninstalled the drivers and ran DDU which turned off Windows automatically trying to find the drivers. I then installed using the drivers provided on a disk in the box, which resulted in the same problem. I reseated the card and made sure the ancillary power cable (which the old card also used) was plugged in. My monitors are both using adapters (one has a VGA to DVI, the other has a DVI to HDMI, as this card as one each of DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort(????) ports), so I tried unplugging the one with the new dvi-to-hdmi adapter that I had also just bought, which did not make a difference. I have not tried moving it over to the other PCI-E port because it fits more awkwardly in there, and wasn't sure I needed to since Windows recognizes it when I start up with no drivers installed. Recent changes: Have you made any changes to your system/configuration recently that might have caused the problem? Just the new card. Operating system: 64-bit Windows 7 Pro System specs: custom built machine, with the following specifications: MSI motherboard (couldn't find the model number because I suck and am bad) i5 sandy bridge processor 2x 4GB DDR3 RAM (clocked at... 1666hz I think?) 1TB SATA HDD Previously a Geforce GTX 550 TI, recently deceased 600W PSU DVD R/W optical drive Location: :usa: I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes edit: One thing I forgot that I also checked: when I uninstall the drivers and start Windows normally, I have no other display adapters beyond the card, including hidden ones.

What kind of PSU exactly? Try running DDU again and installing the latest Nvidia beta drivers rather than what was in the box.
