No display after installing new GTX960

[peeryus]

Jirre, that's a kark one

Maybe flash the BIOS with the jumpers on the board? And see if that works? You still have the Mobo installation disc with the drivers?

Eish not sure how to do that.

I have all the drivers. Not on disc. Downloaded it from the website.

I also suspect it's something to do with the PSU.

I've tested it with a Corsair CS650M but still no luck

If the 550ti worked then surely it has enough power for the 8600?

I just can't see why it won't show display even with the 8600.

What Mobo is it and what Ram do you have in it at the moment?

Did you try the card in another system to see if it isn't faulty?

 

[peeryus]

Yes I have. And it worked fine.

Update your bios. Something I always do before installing new cards. Put old card back in, boot into windows, download the Bios update program for your board, flash it on the spot and reboot. Should do the trick.

Yes I have. And it worked fine.

Not sure if it pertains to you problem, but I saw this somewhere else

So apparently your motherboard is not PCI 2.0 or your video card is not backwards compatible either way I didn't read everything fully and it's late but hopefully this helps one of the other techs.

Mobo: Gigabyte P67A UD4 B3
RAM: Geil 4X4GB DDR3 1600

Could it be a bios issue since the GTX960 is a PCI 3.0 card and the GTX550 Ti was a PCI 2.0 card (I think)?

Thanks. I think it could possibly be a bios issue or compatibility issue

PCIe 3.0 is backwards compatible.

if you want to change the bios you might have to borrow a friends graphics card

Nope, everything is compatible. Seems like everything is pointing to the BIOS I'm afraid. You'll have to get that board updated.

I've had the same problem with my GTX 970. Put the GPU into a different PCI-e x16/x8 slot if you have one. I put my GPU into my 2nd expansion slot and works fine. Still doesn't work in my first slot though.....
