No signal to monitor after new GPU

xK Marcus · 2016-06-30 20:59:59

I get no signal from anything now, no signal with old GPU, new GPU or integrated graphics. I've tried all with 2 different HDMI cables and all where applicable with DVI/VGA, also tried all with a different screen, no luck. Other than no signal, the PC seems to be running fine. Old GPU: AMD Radeon r9 280 New GPU: GTX 1070,…

Okay quick skim didn't help - try just having the keyboard connected to the red USB 2.0 ports at the top next to the PS2 port (the round port).

Is the wirless card connected to a USB header on the motherboard?

I tried those slots but no luck, I had a wireless card in there since a built the pc, but hadn't used wireless in 2 years or so, so I actually just removed that card yesterday when I was trying to sort out my GPU.

Do you have an old keyboard lying around with the circular port on it (PS2)?

How was it connected? To a PCIe slot?

Yeah, that's how it was connected. And I don't have an old keyboard around

Okay Wireless shouldn't be an issue.

What keyboard are you using?

I wondered if there was a switch to turn off any sort of mad mode the keyboard might be in - I can't see anything. I'm afraid I have to head out so hopefully someone who knows razors stuff might be able to shed some light.

Basically try and grab another keyboard if you can.

If you're in North Dublin you're more than welcome to pop the machine over to me and I can try and get her up and running for you.

I'm the Donnybrook area, I don't want to cause any unnecessary inconvenience to anyone though, so potentially as a last resort

Reset the CMOS again. Use the old graphics card not the new one during and after. Bios sounds like its having a issue with the new card.

You need an old style non usb keyboard /mouse. The p2p just to get it up and running.

Ok, so all I did was restart and it's working now, I have nothing up on the dr. debug thing, and it's loading windows.

So, the question, what graphics card do I try and use now?

Long shot. Is your gpu power cable a Daisy chain cable? Some high end gpu's need two 8/6 pin power connectors to power on fully. I had a 660 TI once that powered on but wouldn't display because it was on half power. I hope it's not to late to try it. Good luck

No joy with new GPU, not getting any signal whether it's plugged in to the new GPU or the integrated graphics, the dr debug thing now says A2, which is a problem with IDE or SATA devices apparently, not sure what those are though

Also for your PCI-e there was an issue with a few boards where you had to change the options from Gen3 back to Gen2 or even Gen1 to get the GPU to work.

This is the same issue I had before so while on the integrated graphics go into the bios and do as stated in this thread to change your PCI to Gen2

Oh, never mind, found it.

I can change PCIE2, 4 and 5 from Auto to gen1-3. Should I change all to gen 2?

Also, should I have the driver disc in the disc drive now? should I wait, or is it even any use to install them before, using integrated graphics to see?
