Evga gtx 750 ti SC in new motherboard

[Cendosmansabe]

Bought an msi 970 gaming motherboard, running an amd fx-4350 quad core 4.2 ghz, 16 gb ddr3 ram antec 550 continuous psu. The board lists the evga gtx 750 ti 2gb as compatible but will not boot, even after updating to the new 22.3 bios. It loads up fine on the pny gtx 610 using the hdmi but refuses the gtx 750 ti. It is the dual fan with a pci power input

Hello Cendosmansabe,

The motherboard should have no problem supporting that card, so there must be a hardware/ software error somewhere.

A few questions come to mind:

- Have you double checked that the required PCIe power cable is plugged in securely to the GTX 750ti?
- Does the GTX 750ti show any movements or signs of power when you start up the system?
- How are you connecting your GTX 750ti to your monitor?

The power is connected securely, and when I turn the computer on the fans start spinning. And I'm connecting via hdmi, my monitor doesn't have a dvi input.

Just tried the dvi on a different monitor and it freezes at the same point when turning on. 99 in the bottom right corner of the screen

There is a chance you got a bad card. Do you have another PC you can try the GTX 750ti in?

The card works on my old motherboard, and does display the boot check numbers
