Hi
I just don't get no video out put.
As soon as I put my old 4850 1GB back in the computer goes straight away.
The new PSU should have enough power for it I thought.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks

Strange I tried it in the old PC and it booted up right away so at least I can rule out the card is broken

I took battery out of motherboard and unplugged left for an hour still don't work
tried the old GTS 250 and that also works in the main PC.
God knows why the 7870 won't go :god:
Its fine in the old PC but that only has the E6550

Tried using the liveupdate thing but it won't change the BIOS
Just trying to go into save mode but F8 and F12 keys are not working.
My board does not have the USB 3 or HDMI though to.
Things can be faulty out of the factory

what ever that means?
Does this card have one or two power sockets?

OP - Perhaps it is not correctly seated in the PCI-E slot. I've had this problem in the past and found that it was actually securing the card to the case with the screws that was the issue i.e. aligning the holes to get the screw through was pulling the card from the PCI-E slot ever so slightly, but enough to screw up the video feed. Might be worth seeing if you can get it to work without screwing it to the case first.
Sorry but I could not view the youtube on my ipad browser.

Still don't know what's wrong.
Might take it down the shop.
They seem to think its not compatible.
So now I have a choice to send the card back or sell my PC parts and buy one another PC and upgrade it?
Tried a HDMI>HDMI?
