Question 1070ti black screen, no signal

[yrknthndhr]

Hello!
Ran into an issue while trying to boot new computer. I have MSI Armor 1070ti that I used on very old PC, it ran perfect on DH61CR motherboard. Now I did a full upgrade on my parts, Z790 motherboard, i5-13400f, ram etc. Everything seems to be fine, fans are spinning, everything seated properly, but video card doesn't output a signal. Tried both HDMI and DVI ports no result. GPU fans spin at boot, then stops, I guess that's normal. I can switch to an old case and I will get a display but not on the new board. What could be the issue? It doesn't make sense to me, that a card can run on old system with no problems, but not on a brand new one. Btw my PSU is Corsair rm650x, there should be enough power. Thanks!

I hope you realize that you also have DP ports on that GPU. Plus no offense, just cuz you have a 650 Watt PSU thinking it's enough power doesn't mean it's actually enough. Going from a normal DH61CR to a full on Z790 could have substantial power draws and what's funny is that CPU to GPU combo can bottleneck out like crazy. Plus you saying ram and etc doesn't help out really. You could have a lot of storage and ram and not account for it so.......................Specs please first lol???

Used PCPartPicker, it showed that it should be enough, but sure here are all the specs
I5-13400f
MSI pro z790-a wifi ddr4
MSI ARMOR 1070TI 8GB
G.skill ripjaws V 2x16gb cl18 4000mhz
Samsung 980 pro 1tb
Cpu fan - peerless assasin
Corsair 4000D case, 2 fans connected

Edit: don't want to upgrade GPU right now if I can use this one for time being.

Could it be that I need to update bios for GPU to work. I really don't think it draws so much power at boot. I might be wrong educate me

Try to update your Motherboard's BIOS, if it is using an older version of the BIOS. The latest BIOS version as per Mobo's specs page is 7E07v16, dated 2023-05-23. If updating BIOS also doesn't help then there must be some other issue.

And yes, your PSU is more than enough to power up the whole system. Just make sure to insert/plug the PCIe power connector to the GPU.

Can I do it without seeing anything on the screen, since this CPU is without integrated gpu? There is a flash bios button on the backend panel, will that work with USB?

Yes, you can use the Flash BIOS button. But do it very carefully. Don't interrupt or strop the update process in between. Watch this video first, as you have to rename the file as well:

Thank you, I managed to get a different GPU that apparently worked, weird. Updated bios, after that was able to use my 1070ti. So far so good, but ran into a different problem. Managed to install Windows, turned it off, to put back all the panels etc. And after trying to turn it on, I get DRAM LED, now it won't post...
