Solved, my HDMI cable was slightly out of place. :( I have a dual install with win10 and everything was running fine on windows side, so i thought was a software problem.

You must have your complete machine component list in your account's Profile (mobo, CPU, Graphics). We (I) do not know if you are using a Z87 or Z97 or Z99 or Z170 or Z270 or some lower chipset variant to answer you.
If you are using a 100 series you must add 1 to 2 drivers to get the web driver to work. Further you must have a Plist command that initiates the driver to load. This can be done through MutiBeast or Clover Configurator. If your chipset is before the 100 series you still need the plist command but not the NVRAM drivers. Also the older Plist command(s) for video must be removed.

The Sierra security update changes the build number for the OS from 16G29 to 16G1023, so webdrivers do not work.
If the Webdrivers do not work you have to edit the

Code: 
/System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartupWeb.kext/Contents/Info.plist

and change the NVDARequiredOS key to the new buid number "16G1023" and then rebuilding kextcache

Code: 
sudo touch /System/Extensions/Library
sudo touch /Extensions/Library
sudo kextcache -u /

reboot

Did that it shows loaded by my video card is now not displayed even cache rebuild. A message popped up stating the NVDAStartupWeb.kext could not load as it was not installed properly. Video rolls at login then settles down. I would say kernal extension(s) for Nvidia are not loading and this is confirmed in extension list under system report.
This the plist text for:NVDAStartup.kext
<key>NVDAStartup</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.nvidia.NVDAStartup</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>NVDAStartup</string>
<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
<string>IOFramebuffer</string>
<key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
<string>0x03000000&amp;0xff000000</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x000010de&amp;0x0000ffff</string>
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>100000</integer>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
<key>IOSourceVersion</key>
<string>10.17.5</string>
<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>
<string></string>
<key>NVDAType</key>
<string>Official</string>
This is the plist text for NVDAStartupweb.kext:
<key>NVDAStartup</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.nvidia.NVDAStartupWeb</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>NVDAStartupWeb</string>
<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
<string>IOFramebuffer</string>
<key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
<string>0x03000000&amp;0xff000000</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x000010de&amp;0x0000ffff</string>
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>200000</integer>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>
<string>16G1023</string>
<key>NVDAType</key>
<string>Web</string>
</dict>
Does the NVDARequiredOS key have to have 16G1023 for both kexts? Obviously I have to unlock permissions to change Plist texts in either of these? You will note NVDAStartup does not have a OS build in the string line...

you have to edit only NVDAStartupWeb.kext

try this:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
sudo touch /LibraryExtensions
sudo kextcache -u /

First this driver and all of the other Nvidia drivers are hidden by default, as they are in the hidden System folder. Once unhidden, you can locate the Extensions folder. Using "show package content"s you can uncover the plist. Then the edit can be made in text edit if the write permissions are unlocked. My question is why are none of Nvida kexts loading now and why does the NVDAStartup.kext not have a build number in the NVDARequiredOS key like the NVDAStartupWeb.kext now has? And the Web driver shows loaded in the Nvdia control panel in the menu bar but it is not functioning properly?

This is also available in Clover Configurator under 64bit drivers (MultiBeast may not be running the latest Clover) Clover and the Config can be updated from Config. Config downloads The Nvram emulation kext and version may be newer than in MultiBeast.
MultiBeast worked, do not mess with what works, Murphys Law.
