[SOLVED] My System wont detect new MSI GTX 970

[Sternpaul]

Hello,

I recently bought a new graphics card for my build, but my system is not detecting it. If I plug in my Monitor directly into the GTX 970, I get no signal. If I plug in my Monitor into the onboard graphics, I dont see the new GTX 970 in the device manager. I tried out everything I could find: I deleted all the drivers for my old graphics card, I updated my Bios to the latest version, I checked if my PSU can handly the card, I pulled it out and plugged it back in several times, I even placed it in another system. Always the same problem: No signal. When I put my old graphics card back in, my system starts up like normal. I hope that somebody here can help my solve this problem.

My system specs are:
Motherboard: MS-7826
CPU: i7 4770 3,4GHz
GPU, old: GTX 760
GPU, new: MSI GTX 970 4G
PSU: 600W be quiet! System Power 9

Edit: I forgot to mention that I already changed the "secure boot" and "legacy" settings in my BIOS

GTX 970 needs power direct from the PSU via 8-pin and/or 6-pin PCIe cables according to spec sheet.
Have you connected these to the corresponding connectors on the card?

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yes I have connected both 6 and 8 pin to the GPU. My PSU comes with two cables for PCIe (both with 6+2 Pins), so I tried some combinations. Nothing works.

And the 970 won't work in another system either?

No, same problem. The monitor gets no signal, the fans and the light of the 970 are working(like in my system), but still no signal.

Then I'd have to hazard a guess that the 970's GPU is faulty --- just the GPU component.

That would be worst case, but it is the last possible option I guess
