I took the graphics card out and everything works fine
Could it be that the graphics card is faulty?
u had an integrated graphic then?
u can run everything just fine?
if yes, then most likely it's a faulty card as u said
if no, gotta find dem beeper and see the error code then
I have an i3 7100 processor and the integrated graphics card is the Intel 630 if I am right, and yes, this runs well with no problems. So it is my graphics card?
since u're on the verge of returning it anyway, i think this worth a try: upgrading the motherboard BIOS
i had this kind of trouble (sort of) once, my new GTX 1050ti won't run in my system [ no sound distortion though], coz of 2 reason:
1. my monitor doesn't support the digital signal so i need an active adapter
2. my BIOS doesn't support it so i need a BIOS update
here's how to update it:
go to mobo's brand website
search for your mobo type
download the latest BIOS
let the process run (don't let your PC shuts down during that)
pray and hope it works after that
if not, time to RMA the GPU i guess..
