[SOLVED] Tried to install an rx 580

[SLauzzer]

Hello, today I tried installing an rx 580 pulse on my build but when I try to turn on my pc it just doesnt start, if I use any other graphics card it works (the power source is 450w and old as heck but I dont think thats the problem)

Make and model of your PSU and it's age? We will also need to know the rest of your system specs. With an RX580 in a build, you're going to need at least 550W or higher(from a reliably built PSU) to power the entire system.

You will also need to use DDU to uninstall your prior GPU's drivers before dropping in the RX580.

The PSU is from 2010 I think? I couldn't find the model tho, I will buy a 550w one and uninstall previous drivers. I'll come back with a reply after I buy it.

What are the specs for the rest of the system, by the way? If the rest of the system is as old as the PSU, you could have a UEFI/BIOS compatibility issue as well.

An i3 3220, an ssd and hard disk and idk, also I got the graphics card to work but it doesnt send any signal to the monitor (I have integrated graphics but it should switch automatically, I did look in bios and it says auto) the fans work btw

What is the make/model of your motherboard?

What is the make/model of your motherboard?

Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2

 

[COLGeek]

This motherboard could be old enough to have an old style of BIOS and not the UEFI that your RX580 may need. Are you certain the RX580 works properly in another system?

In a like 3 days I am going to a friends house to test it with his new build to see if it works but it should work

Which board revision(there are 5 revisions of that board) and what bios version are you running?

Yeah, a BIOS update might fix the issue.

The "old" 450W PSU probably isn't doing you any favors. Does it even have an 8-pin PCIe power cable, or is it a 6-pin that you're using an adapter on to get it to 8 pins for the GPU? You do have SOMETHING plugged into the Aux power plug on the end of the card...right?

I think its the 2.2 rev or the 2.1, and the bios version is F7

No it doesn't I have an adaptor but I am buying a 550w and I'll come back monday with some answers, thanks to all of you for the help.

You are going to need bios rev f8 or F10a both had updates for gpu compatibility. Likely will need f10a but note that it is a beta bios.
