Graphics card doesn't work?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I recently purchased an Gigabyte GTX 670 Graphics card but it doesn't work on windows 8. I get a black screen which says no signal.
The card however, does show up on Device manager and I've updated all of the drivers and software's correctly. But now when I plug in HDMI it still says no signal. I tried to load bios and change primary display to PCI-E but it still didn't make any difference.
When I use onboard Graphics it seems to work fine.
Please help me as I have no idea anymore on how to solve this problem.

Use a Dual Link DVI cable. And did you plug the PCI-E connectors(6 pin/ 8 pin) to the GPU from PSU ? What is the PSU you are using ?This is the exact PSU I bought the other day:

I can plug in the 8 pin directly from the PSU as there is a 8 pin wire but the 6 pin with the molex connectors (both 6/8 pins came with molex).
Everything is installed but the display shows no signal

I am afraid that is not a good PSU. It has only one 6 pin PCI-E connector. You have to plug both 6 pin and 8 pin connectors directly from PSU and not with a Molex adapter. The GPU is not getting enough power to run so you are getting "no signal" .
Buy a good/rated PSU to work things properly. Two good PSU's : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

You can go with either one.

Thanks, will try it. I'm just wondering why 6 pin/ 8 pin molex connectors came with the GPU if it won't work in the first place?
