Try connecting the screen to the motherboard's onbaord graphics and see if it works.

Gate9er :

It doesn't work if the graphic card is plugged in to the PSU both onboard and the graphic card

I haven;t quite understood what you mean. Unplug the graphics card from the motherboard and the power supply. Then use the cable to connect the monitor straight to the motherboard.

Gate9er :

Yeah I know that works but I can't get my graphic card to work no matter what.

Gate9er · Feb 7, 2014

Have you tried booting up in safe mode?

P.S. I honestly hate PowerColour. So many people have problems with their products. Maybe you should RMA the card, get a full refund and buy a good brand.

Gate9er :

I've tried returning the graphic card but they say its fine, don't know if true or not.

Gate9er · Feb 7, 2014

Connect the card and boot in safe mode. See if it works. Also what OS are you using?

MosesFPS · Feb 7, 2014

Gate9er :

I am using Windows 7 and how am I suppose to do that when there are no display from the GPU?

Gate9er · Feb 7, 2014

Connect the monitor with the motherboard leaving the graphics card plugged into the PCIe slot and the card's power cables unplugged. Boot into safe mode, and once inside plug the power cables on the card. See if the system recognizes the card.

Gate9er :

The fan from the GPU runs very fast but still not recognized

Gate9er · Feb 7, 2014

Have you tried all the available PCIe slots?

MosesFPS · Feb 7, 2014

Gate9er :

there is only 1 on my motherboard my previous GPU was HD 6570 and it worked fine.

Gate9er · Feb 7, 2014

And have you connected all the power cables on the gpu?

Gate9er · Feb 7, 2014

Well then you should return the card and get your money back. This card won't work.

MosesFPS · Feb 7, 2014

Gate9er :

They say it worked fine, but there are no proof.
