Hi folks,

can anyone help me with this? My old GPU died and I bought a new GPU MSI GTX 1660 Super.

I can boot normally before i install the driver, but after i install the driver, my monitor will show no signal after windows logo.

Upon restarting, the signal will come back, and i get an error 0xc00000f, and result in a boot loop

i have had multiple system restore. Is this an issue of insufficient power? my PSU is Seasonic SS-620M, is 620W insufficient for my setup?

thanks

It could also be that you plugged your DP into the 2nd or 3rd ports.
You'll be surprised to know that there is actually a sequence as to which which port should come first if you intend to use multiple monitors.

In my multiple monitor configuration, it will weirdly show the boot screen from both screens and then the windows logo boot up will be shown on the second monitor and then finally the Windows sign-in page will show back to the main monitor.
I wondered why. But it was because by right, the second monitor was plugged in to a port that is sequenced earlier than my main monitor.
So the only reason it went back to my main monitor was because Windows loaded up the configuration that I save on it which was make my main monitor my Primary monitor.
But the translation from hardware is to take the second monitor(which was my main) on the port to be the primary monitor.

Finally, when I switched the ports around, I no longer encountered the changing of screen displays during boot and it now prioritizes my main monitor since I put it at a port that takes priority on the GPU.

Check to see if you have multiple cables plugged in. Then secondly, try to use the port on the centre or the other end.

Worst comes to worst, after the boot screen and it disappears, try pressing win+P to switch displays on Windows blindly.
Eg. press win+p, let go and then press p and press enter. The first change is duplicate. So it might cause your monitor to show the same screen as what it might originally be outputting to.

If the above methods doesn't work, then please provide more information so others can determine what exactly is wrong with the setup.

If it is a power cable issue, when booting up, the BIOS will show that you must plug in a power cable to the GPU error.

try boot into safe mode and uninstall and reinstall your driver?

If it happens again - Turn off your computer. Unplug the cable running from your monitor to your PC and plug it back in, making sure the connection is firm. ... Replace your monitor with another monitor if possible. If the "No Input Signal" error still appears, the problem does not rest with the cables or the monitor, but with your PC.
