So i just upgraded my build everything went ok and i started it up opened speccy to check everything was installed (came up) it was.. so i updated some drivers (none for my GPU) then started to play dayz then boom screen just went black (this is the resion i upgraded) so i turned it back on all the fans spin and nothing happens to the screen so i called it a night as it was late. After school the next day I took everything out of the case and put it all back in (to make sure it wasint a louse cable) turned it on but still not display so i thought it was my GPU so i took the display from my GPU and put it into the back of my motherboard then i got a display now when i open speccy my GPU doesint come up? the fan spins but nothing if i plug the display into it? whats wrong please help...

I've done this before and had wierd issues with getting my system to recognize the card after unplugging it and using the IGP.

You may want to uninstall the drivers for good measure with DDU and clear the CMOS. After running DDU using the IGP and then clearing the CMOS, plug the monitor into the card and boot. It will run in frame buffer mode until you install the drivers again. Worked for me.

Find your motherboard's manual online and use your Control+F skills. The CMOS stores system configuration data and clearing it can fix issues you have with hardware changes.
