I'm trying to swap the video cards in my pc, and my new ones won't do anything on boot. Both cards are PCIe3.0X16, and one of my slots is 3.0X16, the other is 3.0X4. I already uninstalled my video drivers, and my PSU is a 1250W plugged into the wall.
Here's what I've done so far:
>installed both, put power to both, boots for a couple seconds(no video), reboots, nothing
>installed both, powered one, nothing
>installed both, no power, boots with onboard video
>installed one, powered one, nothing
>installed one, no power, boots with onboard
>re-installed old card, powered, boots with card video, windows auto-detects card
Anything else I can try?

Different slots? Is there a Slot 1 / 2, and so on?

There's 2 PCIe3.0 slots, primary is X16, second is X4. I've tried switching the cards around, and switching PSU cables, with no luck

Update Windows?
You can at least get to Windows with integrated graphics, try installing drivers? I never trust Windows to auto-detect anything.

It isn't drivers if it is trying to boot with no video with the card in. He should at least see the bios/diagnostic shit at the start.

Are you sure you are putting the right power connector in to the graphics cards? Some will need an 8 pin power connector while others need a 6 pin connector.
>>
>>94543
These cards take a 8-pin and a 6-pin, each, so that's covered.

And you're giving them said?
Using a different cable for each connector?
And also connecting the +4 of the ATX24?
>>
>>94589
And you've plugged a hard disk power connector into the port on your motherboard, like you're s'posed to do when you're using more than one graphics card?
>>
>>94853
huh, no I don't have that in. I'll let you know after work.
>>
>>94853
My mobo doesn't seem to have that
>>
>>94862
You seem to like keeping us guessing; what mobo actually is it?

Could you just take a picture of your setup? It might make it easier to spot anything you might have missed.

unfortunately it'll be a while before I can get back to it.
I'll probably start a new thread when I can
