Hi, I bought a Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 ti a few weeks back to replace my old one, but nothing I do can get it to work.
The card sits nicely in the PCI slot, but after I connect it to the PSU and switch it on, all I get is a black screen on my monitor. Everything else seems to be running – the power comes on, the case fans are running, etc. The monitor however stays black even though the LED lights up to show that the power is on.
Inside, while it is running, I notice that neither of the two fans are running. Do I need a more powerful PSU? I recently installed a 600W OCZ PSU, and that has worked fine.
Or is it a motherboard issue? It is quite old, but I'm not sure how that could be the issue.
Here is my set up (excluding sound card, wireless, etc):
Motherboard: Asrock ALiveSATA2-GLAN
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.20 Ghz
PSU: OCZ 600W Mod Xstream-Pro
Thanks.
