Hi guys
After replacing my old burned out GPU nVidia Geforce GTX 460 with a Radeon 7770 HD I have experienced something rather strange.
I put in the card, and it worked like a charm the first few days. Thursday morning I booted my computer, but the screen didn't turn on. I tried to reboot, same thing.
I could hear windows booting (no beeps), every fan was going and LED was lit - just no signal. When I turn on my computer, my monitor which is asleep, turns on and says no signal, so something has to go through that cable. I am using a VGA with a DVI/VGA adapter on the computer end.
I have tried booting through integrated graphics, removed every nVidia driver, updated my radeon drivers, and booting with the GPU - same result. I have tried reseating my GPU, I have tried a different monitor.
My computer is a prebuilt HPE-552sc. I have read somewhere that the motherboard in some prebuild occasions locks out new hardware, could this be the case with the new GPU?
Is my 7770 faulty, should I request a new one or money back?
Time and thought is much appreciated as I am quite desperate!
Cheers
