Looks like the EDID in your display is very badly mangled:

(--) NVIDIA(0):     ___ ???????????????????????????????????M (DFP-0)
(--) NVIDIA(0): ___ ???????????????????????????????????M (DFP-0): 135.0 MHz
(--) NVIDIA(0):     maximum pixel clock
(--) NVIDIA(0): ___ ???????????????????????????????????M (DFP-0): Internal
(--) NVIDIA(0):     Single Link TMDS

Is anything displayed during POST?
