I recently bought an ex-display model Geforce GTX 670 but when I installed it into my PC I'm not receiving a signal from it. After checking some forums I've found that my mobo and PSU are compatible, yet I'm not getting anything out of it.

When I start up the PC, there is one long beep, then it continues to power up. Windows boots as I can hear al the noises, and the mouse and keyboard receive power, but there is no signal coming to the monitor. I don't have another rig to use the GPU in but my old GTX 560 Ti works with no issues when swapped back in.

My specs are:

OS: Windows 8 64x
CPU: Intel Core i7 960
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
Memory: Kingston - KHX2133C11D3K4/16GX
PSU: Antec 750W Truepower
Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200
SSD: OCZ 128GB

Can anyone help out?? I've tried downloading the drivers for it, resetting CMOS, flashing latest BIOS for the mobo, reseating the card in all the slots, setting the primary output pulling out varying amounts of RAM but I'm still not getting anything.

I've contacted the supplier but I haven't heard word back from them and the manual for my mobo doesn't provide any sort of details for the beep error code.

I'm all out of ideas.. Can anyone help me??

I do not recall seeing LED's on my 670. Maybe some models(mine has the 680 pcb) do not have them I have just not payed enough attention.

Do you have a friend with a modern system(not calling yours less modern, just do not want them to install it in some 2004 hp or something) that can test the card out for you?

I am leaning towards a defective card because I have an X58A-UD5(sure it has some add-on's, but it is the same chipset and all the 1366 cpus used the same pci-e controller in the cpu) and I KNOW for a fact that a GTX 670(earthwatts 650 green) works with the board.

Hell the GTX 670 works on a P35 ds3r too(old core 2/core 2 quad board).

Have you tried the other DVI port and maybe HDMI?

Thanks for the reply mate. I have indeed tried each of the ports with the same result. I was thinking the same thing but was really hoping against it. I'll keep skimming through forums and hope there's a solution out there I haven't tried yet.

Turns out the card is cactus. I'm sending it back to the supplier under warranty and using a new 760 in the interim. With any luck they will just send back another 760 (I've been informed that the 670's have been discontinued) and I can get some SLI magic happening!

Thanks for the reply nukemaster!
