Need help with graphics card problems

[frippe44]

So my pc specs are: i5 4690k,MSI Z87 G55,600w Hyper FSP powersupply and a palit gtx 970ref blowerstyle.

So the problem is when I put in my card i cant get the pc to post, but when I run on graphics on cpu I can post. Is the motherboard,gpu,psu?

Do the GPU fans spin? Is the additional power to the GPU plugged in? Did you plug the monitor input to the new GPU ports?

If you have everything plugged in then your GPU might be bad, you should test a different GPU then if it works RMA the 970.

Its perfectly plugged in I have tried both connecting from card and from motherboard non works, the fans spin

Before we can be 100% sure it's the GPU, can you check the BIOS for a setting on what GPU to use? In Asus It has 3 options, Auto, integrated, PCI-e.

Try selecting the PCI-e version explicitly. Search for it in your BIOS.

 

If that doesn't work it is probably the GPU, RMA it.

 

MB is probably fine, CPU is fine, PSU is more than enough.

I'm not sure where on an MSI BIOS.

 

If the old card also doesn't work it's the mobo.

Can you try another pcie slot? If another slot doesn't work RMA the mobo

Try resetting the CMOS by unpluging the PC then remove the battery for about 20 sec or by bridging the CMOS reset pins on the mobo.
