Are you sure you are downloading the correct drivers for your OS, e.g: 32bit for 32 and 64Bit for 64Bit system. That would be very important. The no signal issue may be due to the generic Windows drivers being set at too high a resolution or refresh rate your screen doesn't support. Boot into safe mode and set it to be 800x600 and see if that fixes that issue.
Failing that uninstall the Nvidia drivers in Safe Mode, then reinstall them and see if it helps, maybe download a previous driver for testing purposes!

Ahh here, did you not build it!! You tap F8 at system startup (Ie after the POST screen where hard disks, dvd drives etc are detected prior to windows booting) to enter safe mode. You should never use the drivers that come on the CD, they are way out of date, download the latest ones from www.nvidia.com
