Fudged 8500GT Hey HWC, I have a F-ed up 8500GT. When I install the 8500GT and boot it up, I get a black screen. All the fans and stuff are one. I tested on my computer (AMD 5200+) and my friend's Dell. I made sure that it wasn't a PSU problem coz mine is a 600W one and my friends is a brand new Sparkle 400W. Lastly all the symptoms are the same, and there is NO beep from turning on the computer. So can anyone tell me whats going on? |
Help please... |
The first thing to check is that the card is being correctly set as the primary monitor in BIOS. New installs can sometime alter BIOS graphic card settings. edit....srry reread . You mean it wont even post ? Does it have external power connectors ? are they connected ? If its all setup correctly , and the card makes it not post , it's probably toast. |
Yup, everything is plugged in. I uninstalled my 9600GT drivers before I installed the 8500GT. It doesn't have any power connectors because it is a low powered card. If it is toast, what will baking the card do? |
RMA time probably. If it does not work in two separate rigs it is probably toast. |
