Hello everyone I'm having a really tough time with my system. Firstly id like to say that my first motherboard fried after I tried to SLI two 660's. After my RMA was declined I picked up a new asrock z77 and found out that my 660's were also fried. So now I've gotten a new 7970 and after installing it I am getting no display.
I can't tell if it's a bad gpu or motherboard. If I unplug the power cables from the 7970 and connect to the onboard display I'm able to make it into bios but in my explorer it says my pcie slots are empty. Shouldn't they still show up even if there's no power connected to the card?
With my pcie set to gen1 I can hear windows start up but there's no display.
I can't for the life of me figure out if it's the psu, the gpu, or the motherboard and I've already shelled out enough cash as it is.
Please help
