MOBO won't support PCIE GPU

[Julip]

Hello there,

 

I've recently moved the guts of an M91P ThinkCentre into a larger case to support a normal (PCIE powered) sized GPU.

 

It has:

 

i5 2400 3.1gHz CPU

This motherboard

EVGA 750 Ti SC

8GB DDR3 HyperX Fury Ram

 

I've upgraded the PSU to a 650W that I had laying around.

 

When all the standard parts are moved to the new case (with new PSU) it works/boots fine. When I add the GPU (the only difference), the computer will turn on but not display anything from either the MOBO or GPU outputs.

 

Is there something I need to enable in the BiOS, or OS in order to enable the PCIE slot?

 

Is there too much power being drawn from the PCIE slot?

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

Thanks!

The power isn't an issue. Check the bios that the igpu is set to disable when you put a gpu in. Make sure you are using the black slot, it looks like the only x16 full bandwidth slot.

Thanks! Little to no experience with BiOs - I'll give this one a try. Any reason the MOBO display ports wouldn't be outputting when the GPU is plugged in?

They should be disabled by default in order to enable the ports on the gpu
