Posted February 18, 2016 My mother wanted to get a new computer, she bought a pre built one from best buy that has a intel-i5 in it and wanted to put a R7 250x into it. She only uses it to play World of Warcraft and some Minecraft. But when she put the video card in and connected it to the monitor it says "no signal". I have tried going into the Bios and video option setting to PEG, or PCI-E (came with IGE or somthing like that default). I have tried booting in Safe Mode to see if it might be a driver issue. The video card has power. The fan comes on and what not. I just can't get it to display I have tried it with HDMI, VGA, and DVI cables just can't seem to get to work. Is there any way to know if the PCI-E is broken? It looks fine but just won't work. P.S. I put the card in my PC and it works fine so I know the card is doing good. It has to be something with her new computer. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/550095-broken-pci-e-slot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 18, 2016 Did she make sure that she plugged in the 6pin power connector?

Posted February 18, 2016 Try a different PCIE slot? and also try it on another system to see if it card problem. If it works with another PCIE it means that slot is broken and you should RMA it and if doesn't work in another system it means the GPU is broken and you should RMA that GPU. Magical Pineapples
