So the 1070 arrived however I just can't get it to work.
Each time the card goes in I get a black screen no output whatsoever.

I've run DDU uninstalled the drivers. Each time the card goes in I can't get signal, not even from my mobo.

Help me lol

Check all power connectors are fully on?
Motherboard BIOS update perhaps?
Try it on another PC, if available

Yeah everything is where it should be.
I did think that BIOS might be the issue but why would it stop me from getting signal from my integral mobo output? Bios update is available but only for win 7 and 8, I'm on 10. Would that be okay?
No other pc's available unfortunately

The bios has nothing to do with Windows version so the latest should be fine. Most likely when a PCI-E card is detected in the slot it over rules your onboard.

You wont break anything with the wrong drivers or bios so its worth a shot. Bios can always be reset.

Is your PSU up to scratch?

You wont get a signal from on board graphics if you set the bios to PCI-e only.

Windows does not have access to the Bios so don't worry, try the latest and see if it works. Windows can only read Bios not write to Bios.

I know with my motherboard, when a GPU is installed it turns my internal GPU off. As said try updating the bios, failing that is there anyone near by that can try the card for you?

Trying the BIOS now.
I have a 850w psu so I know it's definitely up for it.
The RGB lighting comes and it's green so it's all good.
I've downloaded the file but not quite certain how to proceed with this guys...

Where you downloaded the BIOS from should have instructions on flashing your bios

Right Bios updated and my SSD with windows can't be discovered...

Ignore me I panicked.
Should I slot the card in or download drivers and then install?

Slot the card in. If it's working fine Windows has a generic driver that will do until you install the latest.

Probably need to set AHCI on or off depending on what the drive is setup for :S

Nope nothing still the same issue as before.
Why is nothing ever easy

Possibly the card is DOA. You could try the other PCI-E slot if you have one.

What is your full system spec?

Okay so I rebooted again and it's working!?!?! Downloading drivers now!

Hopefully that's the end of your problems. My fingers are crossed for you.

Thank you mate much appreciated! Seems it's settled in quite nicely now and just set up the Spectra lighting system - looks gawjus haha
Now need to put it to a test!

Aw I love a happy ending lol.

So do I !!! Spent enough on it lol Any idea what software I should use to monitor the usage and test?

Everyone loves a happy ending.
