Hello,

 

I've just installed a new ssd into my system, as yet nothing is on it. When i turned my pc back on my graphics card wasnt detected by the pc or catalyst. And so my primary monitor doesnt wont but secondary does as its plugged into the mobo. How do i fix this?

 

 

Please help me, one online cookie for the answer that works

 

 

Thanks

first ssds comes blank what did you expect on it. And you need to set on your bios to use both intergraded graphics {mobo ports}, and the graphics cards .

Is your CPU overclocked at all?

 

When my computer does this my normal fix is to load my default BIOS settings, restart and confirm its now working, then restart again and load my OC profile on the BIOS.

 

Also if you have a new SSD you have to partition the drive in control panel once your in windows.

what did you upgrade from.

My usual procedure is:

-turn off PC

-Unplug monitors from GPU and attach main monitor to integrated port

-turn back on and hit your BIOS key

-go to the right most tab and click on load default settings or something along those lines

-save and exit

-let the computer get to your desktop then turn it off

-switch over your monitor so its plugged into your gpu again

-boot up and check if it goes to desktop

-if it does and all is well then turn the computer off again

-start it up, get into your bios and select your saved OC profile

-Save and Exit and it should boot back to your desktop all working as intended.

Why did you unplug everything to fit a SSD?

 

Surely you only had to mount it and connect power and sata cables to it?

[austin541]

you have to re install windows.also have you tried taking out the ssd, and have you checked all your plugins.

Unplugged everything from the back of the case as otherwise cant access side panels

Are you trying to set the SSD up as your boot drive?

 

If this is the only SSD in your system then you will get a great performance increase from having your OS on your SSD.

 

If none of the things suggested work and you cant get your PC to boot, you can remove your old HDD and install windows on your SSD, then plug your old HDD back in and remove the files you want from it before formatting that disk.

Probably should explain i have another ssd. This ssd was going to be for dual boot. So i can boot up windows already
