Hello,
Today I received my GIGABYTE Windforce GTX 760 in the mail, along with a new Rosewill 650 watt power supply.

I put my power supply in and my computer ran without issue, but when I put in my 760, my computer boots straight to a black screen that says b2 in the corner.

I've tried many different things, but none seem to work. I have no idea what's causing the issue here (besides the card, obviously)

Any help?

CPU
AMD A8-3850 20 °C

You made sure that PCIE Power Connectors are properly connected to the card and if the card's fans are running?

One more thing, from older card / IGP go to bios and select PCIE as Primary Display Adapter if not done already. That should solve the problem.

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that the fans do run, and everything seems to be connected properly.

Try the second step.

If that does not work then try the card of one of your friends (Any PCIE card) and try your card in someone else's computer. If the first one works but second one doesn't then your card is Dead on Arrival since there is fault with nothing else.

I can't find the option to do so in my bios.

Go to Bios --> Advanced BIOS Features --> Primary Graphic's Adapter

Set that to PCIE.

I don't have that under Advanced :/ 

I also don't have that under any options in any tabs.

Absolutely nothing dealing with video settings, besides my integrated tab, but I can't change anything in there.

did you plug the monitor into the graphics card?

Yeah I did.

I made that mistake earlier today, though.

I am wondering if this is a question or sarcasm. But I am hoping its the former. :)

It looks like my current integrated graphics and drivers aren't letting me make changes to my display settings for whatever reason.

Integrated Graphics are meant to be replaced by dedicated or discrete graphics at some point.
You just have to look into your bios very very thoroughly and try to find that option or any option similar to that.

There must be. You can access the bios by pressing 'Delete' key at the very start of your computer before your windows boot up (Where the name of your motherboard or computer company is displayed).

I've looked through everything man, there's just nothing about it here.
I'm typing this with my integrated graphics off, so I'm running at 800x600.

I'd do the bios thing with my new card in, but it goes straight to the b2 screen, it doesn't give enough time to go to BIOS.

Aptio Setup Utility --> Advanced --> Integrated Graphics Devices --> Initiate Graphic Adapter

This setting specifies which graphic card is the initial graphics adapter.

PEG = PCI Express Graphics (i.e. the discrete graphics card in the PCI-E x16 slot)

IGD = Integrated Graphics Device

Are you using the latest motherboard BIOS version?
