I'm trying to test a GTX 980 GPU in the only PC I currently have available that it will fit in. The PC was working fine prior to installing the 980, and now when I turn the power on to the surge protector the PC will turn on with all fans at full speed for approximately maybe 5-10 seconds, turn itself off, and do this I believe 2 more times before a succession of 4, then 2, then 3, and lastly another 3 short beeps. The PC never boots, and no video.
Lenovo Thinkstation S10
Q6600 with bsel tape mod
8gb ddr3 registered ram
Single DVD
GTX 980.
Again it seems like perhaps multiple issues, one of which maybe resetting CMOS battery, maybe?
The PC was working just fine with all same specs except with AMD Firepro w4100 as the GPU.
Would appreciate any help/advice. The 980 may simply just be bad too. Not sure of its history.
Thank you.
