GPU Doesn't Work

[Thomas013]

Hello,
I have installed a graphics card into my computer but my computer won't display a picture. The fans and heat sinks get warm but nothing else happens. There is a debug led device on the motherboard that displays E1. What does E1 mean? I have a feeling its power related but i'm not sure. Also another quick question; are all of the debug codes universal? Does E1 on one mother board mean the same on another motherboard?
Thanks

What is your full system setup? What GPU, CPU, motherboard, etc.?

Make sure your gpu is sitting firmly into the PCI e slot. Take it out and reseat it. Then make sure all your wires are firmly connected.

If you're using an and GPU such as the r9 280x make sure you have both the 8 pin + 6 pin power connectors plugged in. Otherwise it won't work
