Question Graphics card doesn't work ?

[DaveTheMagicalCheeseWizz]

I managed to fix the PC not starting, it just had a bad CPU placement.
But now the graphics card is not working , the pc starts, everything is good but the graphics card just don't work.

I thinks it's a bios problem but i ve tried all the things to restore back the bios to its normal version since it had F15 and I downgraded to F10.

I tried to take the CMOS battery out and wait but nothing, the back button of motherboard doesn't work , WIN+SHIFT+CTRL+B doesn't work WIN+B dont work, also my CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.

My screen doesn't work so nothing shows up anywhere. The PC starts, the processor works, the lights and everything, but not the graphics card.

did you connect the monitor to the gpu and not the motherboard?
try a different cable
try a different video port of the gpu
try a different monitor/TV

I thought u mean motherboard ones , sadly i got only one HDMI, and also the problem is the graphics card just don't start , no coolers nothing

Hello.
I would like to ask you if your card started before the CPU problem that you managed to repair?
If you can put another card instead RX580 to try at least the motherboard - to eliminate the idea that the motherboard is faulty ?

It was working before, but the problem it might be the bios cuz it was working before downgrading it ,i was thinking that i can repair it by using another graphics card or an CPU with integrated graphics but i have to find or buy one

Don't spend your money yet.
Keep trying in small steps to eliminate one cause at a time.

first remove gpu and reseat the gpu
second make sure the gpu is align correctly at the rear of the case make sure the hdmi isnt obscured or close to any metal as sometimes the back of some cases can push the hdmi slightly out.

second, boot with only 1 stick of RAM in slot 2.

How can i reset it

How can i reset it

Take the GPU out of the system then put it back in the slots before tightening it down to the case make sure the ports are easy accessable I find on some GPUs the hdmi can sometimes get obscured at the rear

Still not working

is the power cable connected to the gpu and PSU?
can you check the gpu in a different system?

That might be a bad PSU. That'll break everything. Do you have a spare PSU you can swap in to check if it fixes everything?

I haven't seen many bad CPUs. Sure, the initial one could be bad--but more likely it's bios/motherboard incompatibility.

If you can find a cheap graphics card to test with, that might help you out a lot. Zotac Refurbished often has $20 GT 730's.

The bios is the problem and idk how to fix it , my friend has a rx 570 and idk if it may have compatibility to work

Look into the motherboard manual's instructions on how to flash your bios with a USB stick. You'll need another computer to prepare the USB stick.

If the problem is your power supply, then it's a bit dangerous risky using another decent card to test your system. That's another reason you want a VERY cheap card for testing.

 

[helpstar]

why and how did you downgrade the bios exactly?

what do you mean by bad CPU placement? any CPU pins bent or broken?

Already got the stick , thanks for the idea i didn't thought at that, i will try tommorow and i will tell you if i managed to do something

Okay...just make sure you follow directions (also checksum the bios), or your mobo becomes a paperweight.
