    Did you use EVGA PrecisionX before the problem occurred? If so, the problem is probably the EDID of your LCD. Talk to @t456 for a way to fix it.

    Took a quick look around, some people have found that this was due from a faulty GPU. You may want to try the 260M and see if you can at least see something.
