Getting "No Signal" When Trying to Run From a Specific Card.

You Cannot (i know you used to be able to) use an AMD Card and a Nvidia Card in the Same System
the Nvidia installer throws a wobbly when it detects an AMD Card.
AS YOU HAVE DISCOVERED FOR YOURSELF
I've also used a 1080 Ti in the system and that also didn't work though.

That is as stated earlier in this thread they are different Generations of GPU.!!
Nvidia are not as forgiving in this respect as AMD.
 
I tested them in another pc and the mobo is an ASUS M5A97.
In any troubleshooting, system specs matter, especially the make, model and age of the PSU. They all can impact another piece of equipment in different ways.

Whether a cable has been swapped out to rule it out as the problem is important. Whether the GPU, for instance has worked elsewhere matters. What the purpose of equipment is used for does, in fact matter.

You came seeking assistance here. There are plenty of people that will give their time to help you, but you have to be helpful too and provide the requested info and not be dodgy.

I've given all the info so far, what else do people need? The PSU is 5 years old but still working as the system itself works fine, the PSU was even able to run my 1080 Ti completely fine even though it doesn't even have the 2 8 pins the 1080 ti needs.
 
Update the motherboard bios, if the gpu drivers refuse to install using the card by itself then there is a problem with the card.

Its possible to run a radeon with a geforce

The BIOS is already up-to-date as the latest release is like from 2015.
 
Study those videos, by the way what are the psu requirements of both cards?

The 1080 ti and Quadro 2000 are both easily fulfilled by the PSU, especially seeing how the Quadro doesn't even need extra power connectors.
 
It's not that the card doesn't work in your system, it's not designed for Desktop applications and generally only requires a cuda driver, not a display driver.

A lot of workstation cards only work in specific motherboards. I ran into the same problem with my Tesla card. I simply cannot run the card in any desktop board I have. When I drop it in a board, the board results in no post.

This is the driver version for that Quadro 2000 W10 x64.
Optimal driver for enterprise.
Version:R375 U11 (377.83) WHQL
Quadro new feature driver.
Version:R370 U1 (372.95)

Good luck.

You should give this a read.

Bios whitelisting

Weren't you trying to run the card along side the Radeon?
 
Bios whitelisting

Trying with both the 280x and 1080 ti to see if either works.

Ok so I figured out why it wasn't sending a signal and that seems to have to do with it just not supporting my 4k monitor, so I got a 1080 one and it displays fine, however I still can't install drivers for it.

I want you to post some information from that card and what I mean is please take pictures of the white stickers on the back of the card and sometimes they are found on the side of the heatsink of the card too then I want you to get a gpu-z screenshot and post it here
 
Here's the back of the card, in GPU-Z however all fields are blank, even when running only from the Quadro now.

Which driver do you have? I think this is the one you need (assuming win10)


quadro2000.jpg
 
Do you get any kind of error when you install those drivers? Have you checked Event Viewer if so?

Have you tried DCH drivers and are you on Win 10 1903?


Generally its more of an OEM driver, you gotta use the Windows Store NVidia Control Panel app, etc. Not sure if it'll help or if you've found this already. Here's some more info about DHC drivers and Nvidia: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/ans...h/standard-display-drivers-for-windows-10-faq

No I get no error at all apart from that it just failed and I am on the latest version of Windows 10. Where can I find the info in event viewer?
 
What was the other system you tested it in, what driver version did you use, where did you get the drivers cause afaik you can't download the latest drivers unless you have a license as an enterprise customer, unless you got them from "somewhere else"

Sounds like the bios is borked.

From on that card there are 2 bios files on that version. If its Lenovo its possible the bios is whitelisted.

Right click Start button, in the utility menu Event Viewer. There's other ways to get to it, but that's the quick n' easy way IF you don't use a start menu replacement app...

If there is no bios info i wonder if it got screwed with. I found only 2 that match his specific board. I hope the pny bios helps
 
Could always try the w7 driver
Well I'm not sure what other answer you expected other than to use the card?

Use the card for what exactly??
Hardware physx??
A GT210 would do that easy....
edit: ok maybe not a gt 210, but... my point is any lower end graphics card could render HW physx.

Quadro 2000 192 cudas....

For some reason the nvflash software doesn't seem to be working for me, no matter what button I press, it just does the same as "Enter", so I can't write anything in it to update the BIOS. Any ideas?

Included what I think is the right thing in attached files here.

You need to look up a video on how to use nvflash or get a spi flasher

Checked tutorials and none of them were having the issue I had with it.
