I recently got a new GPU and today I installed it and its not giving and output I checked in device manager Speccy and It looks like its not being detected I have done multiple things to fix such as reset CMOS and change the primary output to pcie but its defaulting to auto its been stressful and I would really like to find a fix my motherboard is an ASUS P8 H61-M CSM R2.0 its an lga1155
my gpu is a gtx 680 SIG 2 im using a tr2 thermaltake 600 powersupply i have also looked at other threads which none seem to find a solution

TL;DR PCIe 16 slot not detecting GPU need a fix

Thanks in advance

I've looked at your manual. Assuming that the video card is good, and it is securely in the pcie16 slot(the first slot) with the power cable connected. You change the graphics options in the bios by going to Advanced Options - System Agent Configuration - Graphics Configuration - Primary Display and set it to PCIe. If that option isn't there, your manual says there can be IRQ conflicts if the component drivers don't support sharing. I would try removing any other cards and see if that helps. If not I would suspect the card.

* Thermaltake TR2 600 is listed in the un-tiered category on the PSU list (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html).

* I currently see it listed on NewEgg US site for $26.99 after $20.00 rebate card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153166)

* Suggested recommendation for a GTX 680 is a 550 watt tier 1 or 2 PSU (http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm). Thermal take is an un-tier 600 watt PSU.

@CaptRikku, could you borrow a power supply from a friend to test if that's the cause of the issue? Also, what was your previous graphics card? I'm asking because I'm wondering if it pulled fewer watts from your existing power supply.

I understand. But I've read through this entire thread, and I see a slew of very logical and concise troubleshooting steps. My experience is that when issues get this many layers deep with troubleshooting, the problem usually requires a much simpler solution.

You have a motherboard that only has a single PCIe X16 2.0 slot, therefore you can't test the card in another slot. You have a power supply that depending on the manufacturer date, may be tier 4 at best, and possibly tier 5, which is generally described as a potential system killer. I'm sure I'm not the first person in this thread that this has occurred to. There is no way to know for sure if the issue is caused by the power supply without you borrowing or buying a new one.

By the way, could you reply with the manufacturer date? It would be easier to determine the quality with this information. Why not buy a new power supply from a source that has a no-hassle return policy? If it doesn't solve the problem, simply return it, pay the restocking fee, and perhaps you're out of pocket USD$15.
