Hi,
I've built half a dozen or more pc's, but this is the first that has given me trouble in a while. I hope ya'll can help and thanks in advance for your time.
I've got:
Scenario 1 No graphics card present, using VGA integrated from the mobo:
pc boots, 16gb of ram checks out, can get to bios, could begin installing windows if I wanted to
Scenario 2 With graphics card :
pc turns on, but does not post. Fans are running, but it either shuts itself down after a few seconds - OR - sits there with debug led "94" which I gather is either pci-e related or display related (either way related to the 7950).
The card is running - fans spinning.
Measures taken so far:
While using integrated graphics I checked in the BIOS - default display is set to [PEG]
Various ram in, ram out configurations to see if the ram was an issue (earlier before I figured out the error code)
I attempted to slot the 7950 into my current PC to test it, but it's too frigging big and hit the frame, would not seat.
Questions:
How do I know if I should RMA the video card? Is the fact that its fans are spinning a sign that it should be OK?
After I attempt to start the pc with the video card in, the next time I attempt to start it up the power button has no effect. I have to remove the card in order for it to start. Might this point to a bad PSU or Motherboard instead? Or maybe a crossed wire.
Thanks for your help.
