PC wont detect monitor w/ graphics card installed?

MikeTheCISGuy · Aug 28, 2013

I just recently got a replacement PSU from Corsair as the first one I bought was defective. I installed the PSU along with my graphics card and went to turn it on, but nothing displayed on my monitor. However, the computer was running. I ended up taking out the graphics card to see if it would help, and sure enough it did. I tried installing the drivers for my card w/o the card being installed, which didnt work. So im pretty stuck now. Im thinking it is because my 600watt PSU cannot support my graphics card due to not having enough watts. Can anyone confirm this for me? My specs are:

Processor: Intel i5 3570k Unlocked
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660
PSU: Corsair GS600 (600watt) Gaming Series
RAM: 8GB Vengeance DDR3

Any help/input is appreciated!

I don't think it is because of your PSU not giving enough power. It could be a silly thing that you over looked such as maybe you did not plug your monitor into your graphics card. That would explain why (while the computer is on) that when you removed the graphics card, your monitor started to work.

Haha you were correct my friend. I was in such a rush that I plugged it into the on-board graphics instead. Thank you for the help!
