I know its the card or PSU thats doing this, I plug it in (I have 420Watt psu) and I reset the bios, nothing works, I put in an old moldy PCI card (into pci slot) and it works, when the video card (7900gt) is in, I tried unplugging everything else too see if it wasn't getting enough power,
all I had plugged in was main power, 4 pin cpu, and the video card.
Help?
 
can u test your vid card on another pc? or could u get another psu to test it?
 
hmm... that is always the best way to test things out
so have u been working with this setup or is this a new one?
 
working with it, and I just got the video card. Im on it right now, except im on the old moldy pci video card instead of the 7900gt.
 
ok, if u just got the vid card, then chances are u have a PSU problem, what brand is it btw ?, since your card is new, it´s "suppose" to be alright
 
Well the card isn't new, I bought it from a fellow [H] member, Viper87227 to be exact.
 
hmm... second hand hardware... then i dunno, it just might be the card, no way to know it since u don´t have another pc to test it, is that guy trustworthy?

in my experience cheap hardware ends up being EXPENSIVE
 
First -- just curious ,is your Bios set to PCiE for display first and that OnBoard graphics is disabled?

Second -- Does card beep during Black screen? --- If not Check Step 1 and step 5

Third -- Did you remove all old Display Drivers Before removing old Card and shutting down pc to put your new card in? --- If you did not, then do so and reinstall Card!

Fourth -- Make shure Pcie 12volt plug or 4pin connector is in card if it uses one and that both dongle plug ends go to PSU if it is a Y style plug!

Fifth -- Verify power 4pin connector works on another device!--- If not working Bad PSU possible!
