gtx 970 upgrade help

[LegendaryJC]

So I got my gtx 970 in today and is going to replace my 7870. Switch them out but when the screen come on the screen to go in to bios is smaller than my screen and wont let me into bois. My computer beeps twice and then a black screen. I believe this gpu is causing my computer not to see a OS system. What should I do? Board is a M5A99FX Pro with a fx 4300 in it ATM.

First of all 970 + FX 4300 = bottleneck.

 

Secondly, a new GPU should not prevent you from entering the BIOS. Make sure all cables are not loose on your boot drive and GPU

Yes... I know my 4300 is a bottleneck. That's way I said ATM....thanks. All cables are good since my computer will run fine with my 7870 installed.

I don't think the drivers would be affecting your ability to enter the BIOS.

Not even really trying to enter bios, Just need windows 8 to load.

Try putting in the 970 with your 7870 and downloading the drivers for the 970, then take out the 7870 and leave the 970.
