Hi I just built a new set up. I bought everything new from Newegg or Ebay except for my graphics card. The graphics card is a VisionTek 900505 HD 7850 2gb; which I got used from Ebay. The seller has 100% feedback and the add stated used for testing & works perfectly.
I got everything going yesterday. While still waiting on the graphics card to come in I installed a 8800gts, installed windows 8.1 and everything worked great. The card came in today. I installed the card and turned the computer on and the graphics will not display. It looks like windows is loading, and sometimes the mouse pointer will be displayed; however I can never get the main windows screen to come up. I checked the gpu seating, the plug in, and everything and still nothing. I re-installed the 8800gts and everything came up just fine again. I then installed the latest amd 7k series drivers, and re-installed the HD 7850, and it still did the same thing (the fan on the gpu comes on, but cant get anything on my screen).
Question, is there something maybe I am missing or doing wrong for the 7850 not to be working properly?
