Hey everyone, I am new and this is my first post.
I am upgrading various components in my Clevo W870CU (for fun), everything so far has worked correctly but my new graphics card just won't. I have swapped out my old GTX 470M (Clevo) for a newer GTX 770M (Dell). It fits like a glove, so no issues there. It has similar (if not less) power consumption then the existing one, so that shouldn't be an issue.
When I turn the notebook on, the screen remained blank/black and I hear 2 short beeps.
The GPU/CPU fans start to spin and the screen continues to remain blank/black but then the beeping starts up again, this time it becomes continuous until the notebook powers off after sometime has passed.
Concerned I replaced the older graphics card to see what would happened and it works perfectly first time.
I then tried uninstalling the older device and its drivers so that Windows is forced to see it as "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter".
I try the new card again but the same issue repeats.
I get the feeling the screen is prompting me for something but because it is blank I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions?
CLEVO 870CU
BIOS 1.00.18
EC 1.00.11
