Do you have a spare gpu or old pcie one that you could put in 1st

1. Graphics card issue: Beep (1 long 3 short)

A.  Clean the Golden Finger of graphics card

B.  Clean the graphics card slots

C.  Try to test the onboard graphics card if there is onboard VGA integrated

D.  If convenience, please change different graphic cards to test again

Ivy E does not support IGPU.

 

Switch the BIOS on the card. I would tell you where it is but people on this forum dont like to list there specs in detail. /sorry but its frustrating

if this is to be believed (and i sure hope so) it means that you graphics card is not being detected.

 

what you want to try to do:-

 

clean the pci connector on your graphics card (as if what you are saying is true and the other card worked in the same slot that you used for the other card it is a problem with said

 

card and not the mobo).

 

another thing that you might want to try is if you have a different power supply (even though yours is more then enough for one card) is try and connecting that your graphics card and see if there is a differance .

[Gecko]

Also if you can test the GPU in another rig

[Emanbaird]

i plan on puttimg the gpu in another rig today if it fails

[soaringchicken]

Usually that does mean that the power isn't coming through, you could try unplugging-replugging the cables and if that doesn't work, try another psu if possible

If you put your GTX480 back in and it works. The card is bad RMA it. Dont even mess with it

[Emanbaird]

i gave the 480 to my girlfriend ill test it in her rig today and see if it works.
