new gpu, pc wont post

[tech.guru]

read the side of powersupply, if there is different watts available on rails... its a multi rail powersupply

 

ensure you have 150 watts on the 12v rail for the GPU

[tech.guru]

check the input on the monitor (need to verify) ensure monitor input matches the external output on the card.

 

for example display port

 

integrated video may have been using a different standard than your using now

[tech.guru]

check the status code on the motherboard, is there an error number on the LED display?

 

if there is no LED display, is there any short or long beeps during POST?

[tech.guru]

some things to try

[Corporal_Canada]

removed the gpu, installed the latest drivers, reseated the gpu, no change...also went to bios, theres no pcie in the "advanced tab"

Is this a pre-built PC (e.g. HP / Lenovo / DELL / Acer)?

As @Zusafek mentioned, some pre-built PCs are not able to support newer GPUs without a BIOS update.

Seeing how you mentioned it had a lower-end Radeon HD 5450 graphics card in it, it sounds like the computer is from the 2009 ~ 2011 era.

Are you able to POST (e.g. see the BIOS screen) but not boot?

As you are loading into Windows, you get a black screen?

 

Well, the drivers for a HD 5000 series is very different from the drivers for HD 7000 series and newer.

Radeon HD 6000 series and older were moved to "Legacy" support level, and are not the same as the HD 7000 series and newer.

 

GCN architecture / instruction set (introduced with the Radeon HD 7000 series) had too many differences compared to older GPUs that were on the TeraScale architecture / instruction set.

 

 

downloaded the bios flash thing from the lenovo website..... rebooted.... now all i see is

grub rescue>....... i went from no gpu... to no pc >.<

1. It has a mining Bios

2. Download a different Driver

3. Your GPU is fried(Chances are low)

 

If you have warrenty for the GPU Return it before it get useless for anyone<meaning>(Before you distroy it)

 

And i also have the same problem but my pc don't post
