Does my motherboard support my graphic card?

I had a 5 year old desktop with following configuration.

Processor :      AMD FX4300

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA - 970A (This failed)

Ram:                 Corsair: 4GB DDR3

HDD:                 500 GB Western Digital

Graphic card:  ZOTAC Geforce GT 610 2GB DDR3 

 

My motherboard died a year ago and just tried to get my system up after a year. I bought a low budget Gigabyte GA-78LMT S2 R2 motherboard and installed everything on it, but it's not detecting any output from my graphic card. I can't see display when I connect VGA cable or HDMI cable to the graphic card and display monitor. Although onboard vga is working fine. Does this motherboard supports any graphic card?

PCIe is forwards and backwards compatible. You can plug a 4.0 card into a 1.0 slot, or do the reverse of that.

 

The issue is probably bios settings; it may be defaulting to onboard video and not PCIe devices.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

I checked the bios setting and Initial Display input is set to PCI(and afterwords to PEG option) in Bios setting. I tried turning off the on board graphics and still no display with the Graphic Card. I had to reset the bios to get the on board graphic card working again. The graphic card fan works but it's not detecting in the device manager it's only showing on board graphics there. I am not sure my graphic card is not working or the PCI Express slot.

Things to try:

  • In some BIOSs you can check what devices are populating PCIe slots check if the BIOS sees it.
  • Try another PCIe card or device.
  • Try the GPU in another computer.
