Hi all, I bought a 7870 Myst from my friend the other day. Vid card was working on his rig and I was present when he removed it from the PC.
When I got home, I removed my GTX680 to try out the new card, unfortunately the motherboard won't recognize it. (Code d6 in Maximus IV Extreme)
Tried out other PCI-E ports also to no avail. I tried seating my GTX680 just to check if everything's still working and lo and behold, everything's fine.
Which leads me to believe that the video card got busted in transit or as my friend was removing it from his rig.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I have quite a busy schedule and I'm sure I haven't exhausted all possibilities yet. really don't want to return it to my friend as I saw that it was working properly before we removed it.
All input will be greatly appreciated. thank you!
