Oh yeah I spammed Delete and every F-keys possible. I even tried unplugging the graphics card and plugging the screen straight into the motherboard's HDMI and Display port but then it wouldn't even make it to the TUF logo, everything just stays black... I'll try to boot it like you said when I get home. Thanks for answering me btw.If you have Windows media either USB or disk try booting from that and entering the recovery enviroment.
You should be able to enter the bios tho... Bit odd that. Have you tried F2 or Delete?
Your very welcome..
Failing the above..
You don't have a spare monitor lying around do you? An old one perhaps?
You could at least check if it's the pc/card not giving out a video signal or the monitor itself?
My Xbox is also plugged into that same monitor and I used it to watch videos on Youtube after my PC gave up. I'm 99% sure the Nvidia update is responsible for this :/
I tried booting it with a Windows USB media plugged in but it didn't do anything, unfortunately.Any joy booting from media?
Yeah I built a gaming PC for my brother, if I'm unable to fix it this week I'll try to test my parts in his PC this weekend. I assume the cable is fine since I get to see the TUF logo before it goes dark. I'll double-check it with my Xbox when I get home just to be sure. Someone suggested me to try my old card in the PC to see if it allows me to get to the BIOS or Safe Mode. If it doesn't work I'll also try to unplug everything and get the CMOS battery out of the MB for a while... I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your time.If you know that the monitor definitely works have you checked the cable?
Any chance you have a techy friend who'll let you test your parts in their machine? At least then you could start bug hunting proper.
It worked !! Taking the CMOS battery out to reset the MB was the way to go. I took it out, waited 30 minutes then powered it up, I was able to get to the BIOS and change boot priority to be able to boot with Windows media but I didn't even need to do that because I got back into Windows as soon as I exited the BIOS. I tested everything, started some games, works like a charm. So the Nvidia update seemed to have messed with my motherboard and resetting it was all I needed. Thanks again for your time !It's an odd one for sure and I'd love to hear about any results you get from bug hunting, best of luck!
It was the "GeForce Game Ready Driver 512.59"What was the exact update you installed from NVIDIA?

Excellent! I was going to suggest the bios battery but then thought nah, lol.. Glad you got it working!It worked !! Taking the CMOS battery out to reset the MB was the way to go.
