I recently bought a new graphics card for my computer - AMD HD7870.
I removed my old graphics card and put this one in its place and when i turn my computer on i here 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps that keeps repeating. The fan on the graphics card is also not spinning. Ive searched and found that this means there is an error with the video card?
Im 99% sure its placed correctly, ive reseatted my RAM sticks and still get the same problem.
I dont have a custom built computer, i have a packard bell ipower g3710 and the motherboard is packard bell FMP-55.
Looking at similar threads, some people have said it means the graphics card is not compatible with the mother board however I thought as I have a PCI-E x16 slot available that it would be compatible? no?
Any thoughts to why it isnt working and how to solve it?
Many thanks.
