Upgraded GPU no Signal

[mckinstryt]

Hello, I just upgraded from a sapphire r9 270x to gtx1070 ftw. My monitor is VGA, so i bought a vga to hdmi convertor(one that requires power from micro usb). When I turn the PC on, all lights come on, fans spin up, hdd indicator lights up, but I receive no signal from the gpu. I checked to make sure it is seated properly and it is. I have tried the vga-> HDMI adapter with my old gpu and everything works. I removed the battery from the gpu to reset the cmos and still no signal. Please help! Thanks!

Update: After returning gtx1070 and getting new one, it all works. Must have been a flukey card.

Are all the power cables properly connected to the new video card? Also, what PSU are you using?

Have you also made sure the voltage connection to your GPU is seated and secure to your PSU? Also, a gtx card to a vga monitor is kind of pointless if you ask me. You might want to spend a bit more for a decent monitor to show what your new GTX can display. You're also losing your sound signal as well from the conversion so I highly suggest you get one soon! Good luck~

I am using a Rosewill Capstone 550. I have checked that power cables are connected and the gpu is seated. I plan to get a new monitor at some point in January.

I know it's been a while, but it turns out that gpu was just a dud. I sent it back and got a new one and all works now!
