New GPU no display please help

[jtmoseley]

Alright so I just got a new 1080 with my 960. I plan to use the 960 for mining. I installed both cards and booted the system. Now, my monitors are not picking up any display. Both cards lights are on and fans are spinning but no display, even if I try to go through the motherboard io for output. What do I do? Im confused

One at a time removed one of the cards and then try booting as it could be a card or pcie slot

I installed a new psu could that be the issue?

Okay it posts without the gpu's. Did I power them wrong?

You didn't try to connect an SLI bridge right?

 

And what is the point of mining on a 960?

[Peter041098]

Were you using one cable for what I assume is a 2x 6 pin?

Perhaps he is testing it now

As long as all the PCIe ports on the graphics cards are filled, then they're powered correctly. Unless you've somehow managed to fit the ATX 12v in there. 

 

Try running one graphics card at a time, and make sure to try both PCIe ports on the motherboard to make sure they work individually.

Next step would be to test all the PCIe connectors from the PSU in each card. To make sure that you don't have a defective cable

 

Last step would be a CMOS reset. If the motherboard has a dedicated reset button then use that, otherwise you can simply remove the CMOS battery for 10-20 seconds when the computer is off.

It gets like a dollar a day so why not. And no I did not connect that. With just the 1080 in it still won't post

What cables do I connect to it that might be the issue. Right now It takes 2 8 pins so I have both of those that came in the box with the 6 pin adapter things. The bottom pcie still won't post with the 1080

What? English please.

[jtmoseley]

Okay so with the 1080 both pcie slots are not posting. If I remove both cards and put the HDMI in the io for the motherboard, then it does post.

Then you have a bricked 1080, I hope you can rma it

Let me try the 960

You still haven't translated that previous comment into English. You said something about cables and the rest is just garbled.

Okay: I don't know if I plugged in the psu correctly. Right now, I was using the adapters from 6 pin to 8 pin. I was using the 6 plus 2 pin connectors from my power supply to power both gpu's. Is that wrong?

[Peter041098]

That means motherboard or Cpu are the most likely point of failure

No, I do the same thing with my rx480

But the motherboard and CPU posted by themselves 

[Peter041098]

There may have a problem with it pcie bus that is causing issues

I have just seen the time, it's 23:20 here so I best get to bed, I'll check back tomorrow morning and see if I can help more
