Hi Im having some trouble I bought a gtx 1070 graphics card today. I swaped it with my old card and turned it on. It posted and I shut it down. I went to turn it back on and it didnt post at all. fans are turning and lights are on. Ive tried removing the cmos battery, i tried using a jumper, I tried swaping my ram sticks between slots, I removed everything besides the CPU. I tried putting my old graphics card in there and no post. I dont really know what else to do. It has been working ever since I first put it together and now I cant get it to post.

This is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ThatOneMaou/saved/NRC7YJ

If anyone has any advice that would be awesome Thank you!

does the system post with the old GPU installed? The system wont post without any GPU because your CPU does not have any on board graphics.

I have tried that also.

Reset, use one ram in every slot, use old gpu.

If anything, try to pull out every components out of your case and retry on your work table:

Thats what I meant by swaping. I even used different ram sticks.

before I installed my new gpu. I uninstalled all the drivers for my old graphics card. I plugged in the new graphics card and it posted. I turned it off and turned it back on and it didnt post.

Have you checked all of the cables like the cpu power cable are all correctly in their sockets?

yea just incase. But this isnt a new build. All I did was swap a graphics card out for a new one. It didnt post. When I put my old card back in it didnt post either.

Since thats the case, I suggest buying a replacement mobo or a cheap test mobo to see if its the issue.

Yea I was thinking it was the motherboard. But Ive had this for like 6 months now and and when I wanted to swap and GPU its not working any more. It worked for the first boot and now it wont post anything.

going to be mad if it did. But it doesnt make sense. Then you would notice something not working like a fan or something. The GPU fans r turning and lighting up. CPU fan is turning. And the PSU fan is turning.

Possibly try a different connector from the psu to the video card.
