[SOLVED] No signal from new graphics card

[Jackobfrychinski]

Hi all

sorry, real newbie to this.

trying to put a gtx 1660 super into my ASUS 299-prime motherboard (think that’s right).

seems to have gone in okay. Connected up the 8 pin (6+ 2) power etc...

connected HDMI out to my MSI 4K monitor
switched her on...

and no signal?

anybody got any tips?

sorry and thanks

What is the make and model of your PSU?

Do you have the HDMI to the GPU and not to the motherboard?

Hi there

PSU is Corsair 550CV Series

Apologies - you may have to explain what you mean by HDMI from motherboard not GPU. I am currently putting HDMI lead into back of GPU yes...

is that a mistake?
Thanks so much for your help

Jack

when you plug in old gpu do you have a signal and what others connectors you have on this monitor and the input settings of this one .

Hi - just tried old GPU and it sends HDMI signal no bother.

monitor is MSI, has 2 x hdmi (tried both, no luck) and DP?

what is all this stuff about BIOS I keep reading...and is it worth me pre-installing the drivers for the new card?

Ps - my motherboard has no integrated graphic output

Any ideas? Shall I try to install the drivers in advance?

SOLVED: reloaded old graphics card. Hit f2 on boot to get into BIOS settings. Enabled a setting around PCH, PCIE, ASPM support.

it worked!
