i have the integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200 on my HP Pavilion p6813w and wanna install the XFX R6670 Core Edition 2gb ddr3 pci express 2.1 i place in the card and no signal is being sent all i have available is a HDMI port i dun have the Dual-Link dvi or the display port cords.

my specs on the machine is a 3.1 ghz quad core, 6gigs of ram and i have installed a Dynex ATX 520(DX-520WPS) watt PSU im going bonkers tring to figure this out all help is appreciated. Running Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi, I'll just reply here bro. Thanks for you PM. That PSU is a generic one, it might not be supplying enough power to the 6670, but the 6670 is not a power hungry card. Have you tried to remove the GPU and place it back in? Is the fan spinning when you turn your rig on? And lastly, have you used the ports on your GPU, and not on your mobo?

yes everything is on. i went into my bios and set my on board as primary boot and now i get signal the hdmi port is now working correctly all is well apparently. now im at the driver install page. i know its advised to disable my onboard first. but after i get this card done then prolly disable it?

ok update only problem i got now since im usingf a polaroid 1080P capable tv for my monitor on its hdmi port my display for my task bar is way to big by just a little bit my remote for the tv won't adjust it is there something i gotta do pc side?

You gotta use the amd catalyst control center to adjust the screen for scaling. Open up the catalyst control center--->My digital flat panel----> 'Properties' and also check out the 'Scaling option' ...adjust the screen from there. Oh, also before you do the scaling, I would put your resolution the same as your TV's native resolution. Or if you like put the resolution you like and then adjust the scaling. But the native resolution is better.

i went bigger than the native resolution and it resolved itself. but since i installed the drivers from the disk it like over installed on my on board and the 6670 disappeared but i reverted it back to the drivers for the on baord and everything came back how do i get it to install on the right one so i can have the catalyst control back for my new card??
