Posted July 15, 2020 Been using the following spec and system for around 5 years now: i5 3570k 16gb DDR3 ram 500w psu (gigabyte ga-z77x-d3h motherboard) EVGA GTX 960 2gb Short story: I was replacing my gtx 960 to the one I got from a friend which is RX 570 4gb reference model, that was from his Dell inspiron tower (used for 1 year). I also have RX 580 4gb that I bought from Ebay. Desktop turns on with fans spinning and LED lights on mouse and keyboard, but no signal on monitor tried Hdmi to Dvi-d cable, no signal. Tried different monitor with hdmi to hdmi..no signal. Things Ive tried is CMOS, Reseat rams, diff PCIE slot Update: so, here is what bios looks like using my old GTX 960 and looking at Bios https://ibb.co/n17HxB2 https://ibb.co/JQm8D9d Window is installed on Legacy https://ibb.co/8Xw1MSJ I have a feeling that its about bios..but idk what to touch and try.

You said fans spin up was that just casefans or was that the gpu fans aswell? Have you tried the rx 570 or just the rx 580? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 15, 2020 Alright im assuming that the mobo is outputing through the onboard(intel hd) gpu. Try connecting a monitor that way (aka to the actual mobo instead of the gpu).

HELPS!! Are you running Windows 7 / 8.1, rather than 10? Are you able to get into the BIOS, and get something to display, going through the RX-580 (e.g. can you get display out before booting into Windows) ? You ARE correct, some of the newer graphics cards do not support Legacy CSM Mode. You should be using UEFI BIOS Mode these days now... If your Operating System was installed using Legacy mode, you *may* need to reinstall it when switching to UEFI mode. BUT, also make sure that the motherboard is not overriding what is being used as the primary display output source. It might be set as the iGPU. Check the following setting in the BIOS: Under 'Peripherals' >> 'Init Display First' Make sure that is set to 'PEG' BIOS version F16 is dated 2012/10/24. Gigabyte does offer a F18g and F18i BIOS, those are dated 2013/08/13 and 2014/01/07 respectively.

Try connecting a monitor that way (aka to the actual mobo instead of the gpu). ty for the reply, i am aware of this and think that the motherboard disables the on-board gpu but I manually disabled the hd 4000 beforehand.

Window is indeed installed on Legacy mode as the image says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
