Nvidia GPU - No Signal for few seconds

ok, so just upgraded i3 to another E3 Xeon, so I'm using passive GT610 as GPU.

MB: MSI H77 G43, fastboot on - but that doesn't make any difference, SSD: 240GB m500

the issue that I encountered was that when I install newest drivers (334.something) between Starting Windows text and actual desktop, display shows *No Signal* for about 3-5 seconds then continues as if nothing happened.

When I uninstalled Nvidia drivers, all is back to normal, Starting windows then straight jump to desktop.

My question is, what would cause this? Obviously drivers, but is it something like that the PC is looking for an iGPU, cannot find it, so displays *No Signal* then finds Nvidia card and starts using that? would there be any way to resolve that?

I didn't bother trying to find maybe working older Nvidia driver yet.
 
What video cable you using this can happen if your monitor has an active scan for inputs. Its not driver related IME

HDMI & Display port both do this if your monitor is set to auto detect video inputs.
