Lenovo H520 and EVGA GTX660 error

[beetleborg136]

Hey, I recently bought a EVGA GTX660 Superclocked GPU my computer is a Lenovo H520 with a cih61mi MoBo and the power supply has already been upgraded to 600 watts. When the GPU is attached to the PCI-E 3.0 slot I get no video output or beep code i just get nothing, Once i remove the card I get usual integrated graphics (They were disabled and uninstalled when I tested) I am wondering if there is any way to make it work or if incompatible what would be an equivalent working GPU. Thank you for your help.

Unplugged? Are you meaning the PCIe power from the PSU.

When i remove the GPU from the PCI-E slot (the cih61mi MoBo has integrated graphics)

But when you have it in the slot you are plugging in the PCIe power from the PSU?

Yes I have also tried using the 8 point 6+2 but just using the six and the adapter that came with the card.

Two things it can be BIOS incompatibility or the card is faulty. Check for BIOS update (doubtful) and/or check card in a different computer. If card works but no BIOS updates equivalent would be HD7870

It could be BIOS incompatability because there are no updates but i have tested it in a second computer and it works. Thanks for your help i will check out the HD7870.

I think I have the same situation. How do you know if you have BIOS incompatibility issue?
