Question For some reason my gpu wont work on this motherboard

[Hussicifenty]

So i had i5 3470s cpu on my well working rx 580 system but i decided to upgrade cpu to i7 2600k but putting new cpu accidentally destroyed my motherboard cpu pins. So i bought new motherboard with my last budget [1155 socket] but somewhy rx 580 doesnt work in it. The motherboard is hp pro 3400 mt . Im out of budget sadly so i cant buy new motherboard and the owner wont return it is there any way i can make this work ?? If not i will be forced to sell my rx 580 and buy new motherboard and downgrade to like rx 550 or rx 560

The only suggestion I have to make is to see if you can get a hold of a 2nd Gen i3 and see f that alleviates the problem with functionality, then to see if you can update the BIOS. I wouldn't expect much support from a prebuilt motherboard since they tend to have limitations in their BIOS. In this instance it could very well be that the board lacks UEFI support.

I have already tried with that cpu and unfortunately no luck

Does the computer work post using the integrated graphics? If it does then there's likely a faulty PCIe slot as there's nothing preventing a GPU from being recognized (might not work properly, but not being recognized at all is something else). If it doesn't then the new motherboard likely doesn't work.

I tested the motherboard with other gpus like 10 year old cards and it worked. the rx 580 works on my brother's computer. i tried everything updating bios etc also ye intergrated graphics work but when i put my rx 580 in the pci slot even the intergrated graphics stops working

It spins the fans but theres no signal on pc

It's possible there's a setting in the BIOS that is dictating VGA output and that's about all I can think of that you may not have tried.

How can i fix this i am not really pro in these things sry

 

[thestryker]

Well given that older cards have worked I'm not really sure this is gonna help. Look in the BIOS to see if there is anything related to VGA/Video output and make sure it's set to PCIe. This was largely automated by that era, but I don't know what all HP may have done.

Otherwise maybe try another PCIe slot if there is one. Generally speaking the slot bandwidth shouldn't matter, but maybe if the slot you're trying is somehow wired as x4 it would cause problems. Double check to make sure all power connectors are hooked up, but I don't really think that's the issue given that it posts on integrated and older GPUs.

Did you connect the 8-pin power connector intended for GPU's from the power supply to the card?
As the card's specs call out 185W max consumption, is your power supply up to the task (500W or better required)? (post the make/model of your power supply)

Yes and i have 2 other motherboards i can test from ny friends they working fine with same system so its the motherboard too old but i an hoping theres a way to install or do smth to make it work

Also only one pcie slot tried everything turning off and on at bios

Also my rx 580 has something called bios switch on back of it idk what it is its nitro+ version but its not working even changed

If it is in fact the motherboard then the only thing you can do is replace it. This is not something that you force to work.

Well it looks like that i will try to get some other motherboard from that seller i bought [replace] hopefully he will accept
