Hello i have a HD7770 and it worked for a few days just fine and yesterday and i turned my pc off normally and today when i wanted to play some gta4 i got a black screen fan is spinning on the cpu and gpu 6 pin is connected and the monitor is connected to the gpu but nothing i tryed to clear the cmos and update the bios but nothing my mobo is a asus m2n68-am se2 4gb of ram and a amd athlon 7750 black edition pls help and i tryed my gpu on my friends pc and the gpu works and im using the dvi to analog
 


i have tryed to use my monitor on my dads pc with the hd7770 in his pc and it works and when i install the hd7770 in my pc it is not in the device manager even if i turn on the pc with the vga cable to the hd7770
 


When i start my pc on the hd7770 i switch to mobo gpu and that how i know it is not in the device manager
 


Yes i do https://ibb.co/d9rCkd
 
This is very weird

What psu is in your computer? is it semi modular or modular? Where does the 6pin power cable originate from?

When swapping gpus, are you using the same 6pin cable or are there multiple as in when removing the card and if psu is modular the cable is removed with the gpu or is it still attached to the psu?

You don't have a dedicated psu just for the graphics card?
 


i tryed with the ddu and nothing and yes i can install drivers
 


the psu i have is a 550w the 6pin is going from the psu and i dont have a modular psu
 
What model 7770 do you have?

Do you have an hdmi tv and cable in the house? Try hdmi cable.

At this point it's quite hard to believe it's simply the gpu not agreeing with the motherboard given certain factors already discussed and tried and since it has worked previously. You sure you're not repeating something that is coincidentally wrong, like adapters, video cables, video ports on gpu - DVI D vs DVI A, you've kept everything the same throughout testing? Seems you have and honesty is in question. Only say honesty is we've just about covered everything and nothing makes sense. Sorry.
 


ok im going to try the hdmi
 
The adapter you're using, it requires usb power to convert yeah? Could there be something wrong there with usb ports? Assuming gt 610 and the GTS card have vga or analogue dvi? so didn't need the adapter when using those cards? or because dvi-i can also send analogue signals, a digital to analogue powered converter wouldn't be necessary. Even if there was a power malfunction to operate the conversion, if dvi port is version i or a, passive analogue would work anyway. Would surely mask the problem if the 7770's dvi is digital only and requires the converter to have power so check it is getting power.
 


no my adapter dose not need a usb and all of my cards have dvi
 
If we can get exact models and which ports you're using for each card will help a lot. Some gpus have multiple DVI's so some may be digital only or digital and analogue.

DVI-D = Digital, DVI-I = Digital and Analogue, DVI-A = Analogue only. There are pictures online to determine which is which.

For DVI-D to vga the signal needs to be powered to convert, usually by usb or one of the pins in the DVI plug. Passive converter won't convert DVI-D to analogue albeit if power isn't received properly to the adapter to convert digital, coincidentally gt610 and 8800gts both have DVI-I so the powered conversion isn't necessary as cable would be operating in passive mode anyway i'd assume.

Don't know what DVI ports all your graphics cards have so if you can please give models of each. Also the converter you're using thanks.

 


Every card has a dvi d
