I'm trying to set up a new build, using a gtx 1070, an i7 4790 that I've just freed up, upgrading my main pc, and a used micro atx motherboard, an msi H81M-P33.
I've installed windows afresh, using an old vga monitor plugged into the onboard graphics. That works fine, but every time I attach the 1070 the computer won't boot properly.
It only shows a black screen, no boot logo or bios option. It definitely doesn't complete booting, as the computer never appears on the network and remote desktop won't connect either. In fact, after 10 seconds or so the fans stop spinning on the 1070 so something's not happy.
While the new gpu is plugged in there's no output from either onboard or pci-e.
I tried booting to safe mode. No help. I tried installing the nvidia drivers while booted in on the inboard, but they need the graphics card to be in place to even install them. I thought if I just left it running it might update drivers itself, but it's never actually booting.
Any ideas?
The 1070 definitely works, I've had it in my other pc to test.
It's got all 8 power pins connected, 6+2 from my 500w psu.
Is this older motherboard not compatible? I gave it the most up to date bios update before installing my i7 4790.
I've cleared cmos. (by removing the battery, couldn't see then jumper)
All other posts I've seen about this suggest going into bios, or safe mode, but while the gpu is in its going nowhere.
