Hi all.
I am hoping someone here can help me.
I have an mac pro 5,1 that I have recently just installed a new
EVGA GTX960 into.
Up dated to latest Elcapitan and what I think was the latest nvidia driver (cant check right now... read on).
It was working just fine.
I have a Samsung UHD in the hdmi and my apple 22" in the dvi, it starts up on the samsung.
then about 2 weeks after install, on start up all I get is a black screen.
The os chime sounds but nothing from the screens. Not even a check signal cable etc...
I tried all the screen plugs and all the combos I could think of and nothing.
In the end I ripped out the graphics card and reinstalled my old ati radion that came with the mac.
The nvida driver has switched off (pretty sure) I turned it back on (reinstall gtx) and it was working fine for a month and a half.
But it has happened again.
Can anyone recommend anything I should try.
I can put the old card back in have a look then reinstall the GTX again, but I cant do that every 1.5 months!
I have to have it back up and running for work in a day or 2 so I might have to do the above to get me going but I would like to solve and fix this issue if at all possible.
I will endeavor to be as co-operative with any help as I can, but warning I am not very tech headed sorry.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Matthew
