SOLVED (kind of): 2017.15400 - Blank Screen Startup

Hi guys,

Just assembled a new station for permanent installation with 2x Quadro (P5000 & p4000).

Accessing the station via TeamViewer only, no monitors are attached for now.

TD with white screen only no matter on which gpu I run it.

I’ve already had this pb longtime ago with a specific Windows Build and it was resolved. Now it’s back with vengeance!

System:

Motherboard: ASUS TUF z270 MarkI / 32Gb
GPUs: 1x P4000, 1x P5000
Nvidia driver: 386.01

Windows build: Wpro 10 x64 1709 (16299.125)

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm,

After investigation, it happens that you CANNOT run TD on ‘virtual’ monitor by Team Viewer. You need to have a physical one attached to Quadro(s).

As soon as I plugged a monitor, the TD opened normally. It is quite annoying for preload everything, but I guess there’s not much that can be done with that.

If I’m missing something, would be interesting to have your thoughts how do you run big installation with ‘headless’ servers.

You can connect monitor, save edid from NVIDIA control panel, load that edid in the control Panel and disconnect monitor . Now the os thinks there’s always a monitor attached

Wow! This is genious!

Thank you so much. Had no idea you can do that with nvidia controls. Works like a charm!

Yoohooo!

Thanks again.
