amd Motherboard/BIOS not detecting GPU

[Dylanc431]

Hey all, so I'm having an issue right now with my GPU and motherboard, the GPU in question is a Radeon HD7970 (Windforce 3GB), it was working perfectly up to this point, recently (yesterday) I swapped all my components into a new case and everything worked perfectly, I played some ARMA and some MW2 with a friend and it stayed cool and quiet, played some ARMA earlier today, still worked, but then I took a break and left the PC off for a while, then when I came back to it, I realised I had no video signal after turning the PC on, about a second later I hear the beep code (2 beeps, 1 sec each, 2.5 sec break, 2 more beeps)... I look up the code and it turns out that code means "No dedicated GPU in PCIe slot", the power is connected, the fans are spinning, so I thought it might be the motherboard... put my old(er) GT730 in the same slot, no beeps and I get a signal...

 

I have no idea what to do to fix this or what even else to do so any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance

Dylan.

Not sure if this would cause that problem, but are your connectors in the GPU correctly, and giving power to the GPU?

Yes, the fans are spinning and both connectors are very firmly in (6 and 6+2 pin)

your gpu is the problem that's what the beep code mean.

I believe he has figured this out.

that's not a GPU, that's a video card

 

yes, the video card may be very well borked

my mistake, typing GPU was just quicker

 

and crap, if it is then I'm well and truly screwed Dx

Okay! Update! I changed what PCIe power I was using and it's stopped beeping, I just need a way to force it to show image on my monitor without getting image on it
