GTX 590 DOA?

My GTX 590 arrived today, I uninstalled my old card and drivers, restarted PC, installed GTX 590, downloaded latest driver online, installed, restarted, didn't work. I got messages first with my registry at the bios saying some sector wasn't found, then once my PC booted up I got a message saying couldn't find DX9c installed, please install, and then when I try to access the Nvidia CP I get a message saying "You are not currently using a display attached to an Nvidia GPU".

I tried the beta drivers next... nothing. Is the card dead?

Also, I don't have another PC to try the card in, but my PCI-E slot isn't dead... my other card worked.

You sure you JUST deleted the prior cards drivers? Honestly i hear most people dont do that and just put the new card in and DL over the other.? Or am i being silly it seems like it isnt the card to me to be honest.
 
I had an HD5770. Unstalled Catalyst Control Center, unistalled ALL drivers. Restarted, ran DriverSweeper, restarted. Then I installed the 590 and the new drivers.
 
Just an update. I swapped out hard drives to a new Windows 7 install with nothing installed. I installed the Nvidia drivers and still have the same errors.
 
Strange, if Windows says "couldn't find DX9c installed" that means you need to reinstall DirectX.

Check for anything ATi/AMD because the uninstaller doesn't always delete everything.

Check in C:\, C:\users\"your username"\local, C:\users\"your username"\roaming and delete any ATi or AMD folders.

Also type regedit in the start menu and then press enter. Then go HKEY_Current_user>Software and delete anything ATI. Then go HKEY_Current_Machine and do the same.

That should get rid of anything ATI related so if you still get probs we know it's nothing to do with old drivers.

I did a fresh windows install and downloaded and installed via the link you gave me. No DX9 popups, but card is still being a POS.

I will edit the registry and clean up what I can. I'll get back to you, thanks again for your help.
 
Didn't work.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I have an ASUS P5KPL-AM SE mobo... would this be an issue?

EDIT: Added photos to first post.
 
could be because its not an sli mobo and doesnt have the necessary bandwidth to support it??

why not spell out ur whole rig this will help us better as well. kinda hard for us to help trouble shoot when we dont know whats what

Current Rig:

ASUS P5KPL-AM SE

4GB DDR2

Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3.4Ghz

Corsair HX750w PSU​

Don't know if anything else is relevant.

I have a new rig on the way, don't know if it will help with the problem:

ASUS P8Z668-V Pro

2600K

16GB Vengeance 1600Mhz

Crucial RealSSD​
 
I'm going to say I think its the mobo's not compatable with it. Whens ur other gear arriving???
 
got any mates that have a more up to date rig??? just hoping ya dont miss an RMA deadline in case it is defective
 
ok cool EVGA rocks da walls but I'd test it out in another rig if possible and see whats what.
 
Yeah, I'm going to test it out on another rig. Same hardware as the parts I ordered... so... wish me luck. Thanks again for your advice.
