GPU Blackscreen Halp?

Posted

Hello, I am fairly new to the whole pc building and upgrading so I decided to start off with purchasing a new power supply and GPU which is something many people say to do first. The GPU i bought is a GTX 750 Ti that comes with a 6 pin connector. I bought a EVGA 600 Watt power supply i believe silver 80 plus. When I installed my new GPU all I get is the Acer screen followed by 3 beeps that are spaced out by a few seconds then either a black screen or a black screen with a blinking dash on the top right corner. Ive made sure everything is connected properly several times, and when i switch back to my old GPU it works perfectly fine. I have removed the battery on the mother board as recommended, i have used different 6 pin connectors and made sure everything is connected right. One time it did 2 quick beeps then it did the 3 beeps that are spaced out after the 2 beeps.

My specs are as follows: Acer Predator G3620

Processor: i7 3770

Motherboard: ACER IPIMB AR REV 1.02 A

RAM: 12 Gb DDR3

Memory: 2TB Hddr

DirectX 12 (DirectX 11 or higher needed for 750Ti)

EVGA 600 W Power supply

 

Any and all help would be appreciated, i have a free day so i can reply in a moments notice with pictures and other info if needed.

Have you tried using less ram?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

No, I didn't even know that could be an issue. Ill give it a shot how much should i leave?

If you have 2 identical sticks, leave them in dual channel. Otherwise, try using a single dimm in various slots.

I did that but still the same 3 beeps with about 13 to 15 second intervals between beeps. Could it be the card?

You might have to do a BIOS update. sometimes 3rd and 4th gen motherboards don't play nice with new graphics cards.

How do i do this? I tried to do it already and I'm not sure I did it right. Or that the version I used was the right one. I downloaded the one on the very bottom.

You are correct to download it, now put it onto a thumb drive and use whatever flashing tool is available in the BIOS. Since you appear to have a prebuilt, you'll need to look online how to flash that motherboard's bios, or email customer support for whoever the manufacturer is

Ok so I followed the instructions on the read me doc. From the bios files and I turned off my pc should I turn it on with the 750 or with the old 630?

Since you've completed the BIOS update you should see if the 750 will be accepted.

And no luck, this time 2 quick beeps and then the 3 spaced out beeps except this time black screen with no blinking dash.

What does the old GPU do? or integrated graphics?

Interesting. Have you had the chance to try the new card in someone else's system?

sadly no, everyone i know pretty much has a laptop.

Unfortunately there's a chance the card itself doesn't work. In that case, hopefully you have some purchase protection.
