I recently built a new computer, but the problem i'm having is:    When the graphics card is installed, I do not get a display on my monitor/tv. I get "no signal". The fan spins and the "geforce graphics" lights up/ computer boots up but I dont get a display on the monitor when the graphics card is plugged in.

 

Currently I can only get into the system when only using the integrated graphics. And so I'm pretty sure all the parts work other than the gpu.

 

I have tried re-positioning the gpu, checking if all the cables are plugged in, updating my BIOS, and attempted to install drivers for the gpu.(I have yet to find a way to install the drivers for the gpu because nvidia drivers only installs drivers when it detects your gpu in the computer.) I have also tried going into the BIOS and changing the primary display to PCIE and PEG, but it just reverts back to "auto" every time I change it.

Any help would be amazing. Thank you.

Might be a dumb thing to suggest but have you got your monitor cable plugged into your GPU

Have you tried getting into Windows with your iGPU and having a look in device manager to see if Windows can detect your GPU, it will be under Display Adapters.

Plugging my monitor into the gpu instead of the motherboard still gives me no display :(

 

I sadly cannot get into windows when the graphics card is installed (because i dont get a signal). But I can get into the computer with the integrated graphics.

Did you try a different pci slot ?

Yes i have tried all three pci slots. But still no display. Im thinking my bronze 650w isnt enough power for the graphics card. But im not sure.

Do you guys think that my Thermaltake Smart 650w bronze power supply is the problem? Do you think It might not be giving enough power to the graphics card?
