Gpu not working, help

Bobotie1

I upgraded an dell Inspiron with an working Corsair VS. 650 and a GTX 760 from Asus.

however, with the new card, I don’t get any display whatsoever,

All the parts have been confirmed working. Here’s what I have done already;

- reset CMOS

- DDU old drivers

- reseat gpu

- reseat power

- use different ports

- update BIOS to latest version

- Cry

I’ve had issues with older monitors and older cards combined with newer drivers and newer OS.

 Things that might or might not matter:

 

the port type on the monitor.  There seems to be serious compatibility stuff with DVI. Hdmi seems reliable regardless but a lot less love is being lavished on dviD.

 

Age of the driver.  I had a monitor literally just turn itself off on loading several times when I upgraded.  The generic video driver no longer considers itself compatible with my monitor for one thing.

 

age of the OS build.  Win10 apparently has several versions and they don’t all work the same.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Might explain my problem, as I am using an old monitor, with DVI.

thanks will try!

I added some other stuff to that earlier post as I thought of it.

There are a couple options.  
#1 what other ports do you have on your monitor besides dvi?  
 

#2 if not, What kind of dvi is it (there are several)
