GPU not giving signal

[bruhwhatname123]

Hi, 

I have recently built a cheap pc and it was working. Here are the specs:

 

Dell precision T5400:

 

Dual Xeon E5420 

PNY Nvidia Geforce GTX 570 enthusiast edition 1280mb

32GB ECC FB-DIMM DDR2 RAM

500 GB HDD

The PSU is rated for up to 875 watts and it is an oem dell psu with 80 plus certified and has two 6 pin power connector for the gpu

And my monitor uses DVI

 

 

But later on I noticed a problem where after putting the pc to sleep it would not give a signal once I moved the mouse or clicked the keyboard. I would have to shut it down and restart it, and sometimes even that wouldn't work and sometimes it did. Now it doesn't give any signal at all. So I thought either it was a gpu problem or the motherboard/cpu/RAM problem. So I took my gtx 570 and placed it into another pc and it booted up properly and then I put a gt 210 into the Dell and it worked too. So that means everything is working right? I put the GTX 570 back in the Dell and it doesn't boot up.  I even reset the CMOS battery but it still doesn't give a signal. All the fans are spinning. I even checked a psu calculator to see if it wasn't the problem, and I have 200+watts headroom so I think it is good. 

 

I really don't know what to do, and any help would be really appreciated.

try a different pci-e slot on the board

Make sure you only have as many pcie devices as your mobo can support. If you have more it might shut off the gpu.

I know this might sound stupidly simple, but you're not using the wrong TV channel are you? If you have a monitor, though, that's a moot point.

 

Is your DVI fully shoved in to it's socket?

 

Maybe update monitor driver via Device Manager?

 

I don't know, mate. Tis an odd problem for sure.

 

EDIT: Also, again a simple suggestion, I know, but are you shoving the 570 fully into the PCI slot?

But when I put the gt 210 into the same slot, it still worked.

 

Thank you for the response

I don't know how to change channels on a monitor, also yes it is pushed in properly. Also how would you update monitor drivers if the PC won't give signal to the monitor and the dvi is fully pushed in.

 

But Thank you for the response

The motherboard has two PCI-E 16x

 slots and and one PCI-E 8x slot it also has two PCI-X and one PCI slot. I am not sure which version of PCI-E Slot it is though (whether 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0) I am only using one PCI-E 16x slot, which is used by the GTX 570.

 

Thank you for the response

Is there no way you can use HDMI or display port? 

 

Do you have a DVI to HDMI adapter by any small chance?

ok then don't bother trying a different slot and just do nothing. 

[CDHoward]

Also, are all the GPU's power connections connected?

I tried on my TV and it has HDMI and the same thing happened the fans start and I here a beep indicating windows starting up but I don't get any signal. The computer was working before So I am not sure what is going on.

 

Thanks again

Ok thanks for the reply

If it has integrated graphics, you should check if that outputs video, with and without the dedicated graphics card.

Sorry, that isn't possible as the xeons I have don't have integrated graphics.

 

Thank you for the response!

So does anyone else have any other solutions, a friend of mine suggested maybe it was the two 6 pin pcie power connectors on the Dell not giving power. But it was working a week back and the fans do spin. Do you think this makes sense and this might be the problem?

 

Please any help would be appreciated!
