Installed GTX 970 card in MSI H61M-P31 motherboard. Comptuer won't boot to bios.

[skirge7]

Board: MSI H61M-P31
CPU: Intel i7 3770
RAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance
PSU: Corsair CX750M
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce 970 gtx

I have install the graphics card, previously there was none, and it have ample power. When I turn on my computer everything turns on, cpu, gpu, hard-drive, dvd drive, etc. however after left than a second the computer dies and then shortly after it tries to restart again.

I have checked elsewhere and the motherboard is compatible with the graphics card. I tried removing the CMOS battery. This lead to the computer turning on for about 5-6 seconds then dying, then returning to the 1 second die-start loop.

From reading the forums I believe this is something got to do with BIOS update or a driver issue, I am not sure how to install or update either of these on the computer when I can't get it to start.

Any help or solution would be most welcome. Thanks.

Does taking the graphics card out allow you to use the computer normally?

Can you get to the bios?

i am having a similar problem as the OP.... and to answer your question to him, yes, my pc boots with the card out.. i even updated my mobo to the latest version, just in case its "improved system stability" can be the fix.. but nothing. any thoughts ?
