New Graphics card wont display anything

soccermaniac88 · Dec 26, 2010

I just built my first computer earlier today and it was working great. I had windows installed and everything was running smoothly. I then decided to put in my graphics card. It is a Biostar Radeon HD 5770. I slid the card into its slot and plugged the 6 pin into it. Then I plugged it into my monitor with an hdmi cable (it is the only cable I have) and turned the computer on. All of the fans started up but nothing came up on the screen. The fan on the graphics card was moving. Does anybody have any ideas?

Specs:
Case: Raidmax Smilodon
PSU: Came with case
HDD: WD 640 GB SATA
RAM:A-DATA - 2GB x2
MB: ASRock H55M Pro
CPU: Intel i3

Then it's DOA. Return it for replacement or refund.

That happened with my 5750, it turned out the ports were screwed up. It just happens sometimes. :ohwell:

uhh how about we make sure the hdmi input is selected on the monitor guys? i mean, jump the gun much? and we also know hdmi cables don't get b0rked so it can't be that right? especially since he's tried many different ones.... oh wait. sorry but misguided troubleshooting makes me RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Your board has onboard graphics right? If so, did you disable it in bios and enable Pci-e or change your primary display to Pci-e?

Raidmax case , Raidmax PSU?
PSU may not be good enough?

What about your monitor you may have to manually switch to HDMI from DVI or VGA?
Or as someone said turn off/disable your on-board graphic in Bios if not auto?

I figured it out. I was using the 6 pin that was directly connected to the PSU but I forgot that the card came with a 6 pin adapter that you plug in to two 4 pin molex's. I used that and the card is now working perfectly. Thanks for your help!

P.S. - I would thank you, but the button seems to have disappeared. Maybe there is a limit and I overused it today?

Glad you fix your problem :toast:

As for the thanks button if there is a limit then do it later on or the next day...

The 6 pin from your PSU is borked then, if you have a problem with one part of a PSU it can sometimes lead to the whole unit going down.

So consider getting a new PSU when you can : ]
