GTX 550ti issues

[1823alex]

So I was considering folding with my 550ti or litecoin mining with it either way I upgraded my rig from the 550ti to a 760 but trying to put the 550ti in my Elementary OS linux box when I put the card in and connect the display to the card I just get a blank black screen I don't even get a post screen. I noticed that Elementary OS apparently is the problem so I can't find a different OS so does anyone know how I could get Elementary OS working or does anyone know where I could get a windows xp download I have an old xp key I can use and vista key I just need a disc or ISO file.

When I saw Elementary OS linux box, I thought, "Elementary my dear watson."

 

 

Couldn't you also install Ubuntu?

I'd suggest just like everyone else put ubuntu on there there isn't really a point in mining with a 550ti its around 150 khash about 25cents a day if done right. aswell as bitcoin mining is really gone down hill as of lately for any type of coin
