So I found a gt 440 for cheap. Although it came from a not so known brand, Yeston, I still bought it to try.
this is my system spec:
600W PSU (generic one that comes with the case)
gigabyte h61m
intel i3 2100
8GB ddr3
I installed the gpu and no matter what, it wont load it. It just straight up selecting the igpu instead when the bios setting is set to prioritize pcie. The pcie is by no means broken. So what I did is I installed it on another system. The specs are:
msi a68h (I think)
amd a6-7480
8GB ddr3
not sure what the wattage of PSU, but iirc it should still be 600W generic too
now the age of those psu.. I'm also not sure on that part as I bought these as 2nd hand. Its been with me for the last 6-7 months.
and it works there. I am very confused as to why it works there, and not on the intel one. Any ideas?
Both have latest bios too.
gigabyte has the version f8 as latest.
the other I've not checked, but it should be the latest.
