Hey, I just changed my motherboard and cpu on my computer, but I diden´t bought a graphics card because I already had one at home that I also have used before.
so when I had installed everything so did not the computer, it started but then so was the screen black with small blue streaks up in the left corner, so I tried to run the computer without the graphics card and use the built-in graphics card, then the computer woked perfectly.
+ Like I said before, I have used the graphics card for a while and it has worked really well, but now it does not work!
I have: updated PCI-e slot: a / PCI bus, I have even tried swapping the ram memories, I've checked that all the cords are plugged into my motherboard and my graphics card.

NEW CPU: http://www.inet.se/produkt/5310053/intel-core-i5-4670k-...
MOTHERBOARD:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...
GPU:http://www.inet.se/produkt/5411104/gigabyte-geforce-gtx...
PSU: Don´t know, but it is 400 Watt
I have tried another graphics card that require like 100-200 Watt,you do NOT need to plug in a 6 pin cord even, So that means that it´s not the PSU that is bad!t!
Tack på förhand! : D
Thanks in advance! : D

We'll need to know what your old Processor was,what the new processor is(motherboard isnt so crucial yet),what graphics card and what Power Supply you have.
If the card worked fine in an older configuration but you cant get it to boot properly in a new configuration that works without the card,im thinking it's not getting enough Power.

You beat me to the "more specs" question! haha. Yes, I agree with Crispy, I'm betting on the power supply.

Best solution
I'd recommend a 750w or higher PSU. It may seem excessive but you can always reuse it in another build. Just make sure it comes with a good selection of PCIe power connectors. Better yet, get a 'modular' PSU that lets you plug and remove the connectors you need and don't. That way, when Graphics Card power connectors change (they seem to change format every year and a half or so) you can just buy new cables, not a new PSU.
Before all of that though - try to borrow a higher Wattage PSU and test with that. That'll give you a definite answer.

I wouldn't recommend such a set up. 7850's recommended psu is 500w, and on top of that, you've got a higher end processor. Your 400w powersupply is being pushed to its limits as the build is now.I have tried another graphics card that require like 100-200 Watt,you do NOT need to plug in a 6 pin cord even, So that means that it´s not the PSU that is bad!

Are you saying that you've tried a PSU that doesn't take any connectors, and yours does, or vice versa?

I'd still recommend trying a higher wattage PSU if you get the chance.
Assuming it isn't the PSU then if your drivers are up-to-date and fully compatible with the version of windows you are running AND the PCIe slot you have the card attached to is the correct version or higher for the type of Graphics Card (PCIe 1.0, 2.0, 3.0) AND the card is mounted correctly in the slot and all the connectors are fully attached...
then...
It sounds like the card itself might be faulty.
If you can, reattach the card in a different motherboard on a different computer, or reconstruct your old computer and see if the card runs fine.
I only say this because I had a similar problem with a GTX780 suddenly scrambling out on me. Fortunately, the card was under warranty. The RMA department of the card's manufacturing (Gigabyte) confirmed that the card was beyond repair and replaced it for me.
Before doing any of that: Try a different PSU if you can. Also try the Graphics Card in someone else's computer if you can.

We're saying your PSU might be underpowered, not broken.
Your PSU is too weak to support your Graphics Card.
Try a more powerful PSU (500+ Watts)
This is what everyone thinks is the problem.
Borrow a friend's PSU if you can.
If you want to confirm if the Graphics Card is not broken, try it in a different computer.
By doing these things we can deduce where the problem is.

no, i mean that the PSU is not giving to lillte Watt

If it really isn't your PSU then it is very important that you test the Graphics Card in another computer. If the card still demonstrates the same problem then the card is physically faulty. Your only practical option with a faulty card is to return it to the manufacturer's RMA department for repair/replacement. If the card isn't under warranty then you can try a private hardware repair company (this will cost money) but faulty cards are almost impossible to repair in most cases. Simplest option with a broken card is to buy a new one. I know that isn't what anyone wants to hear.
Please recycle broken hardware. The value of the components is often high and they leave a nasty environmental footprint when disposed of via conventional means.

it's not the gpu that is broken i have tried 2 os them, 1 is brand new from pakage and one shuld worf fine, and both give the same result!

omg.. I have tried another !!GRAPHICS CARD!! that require like 100-200 Watt,you do NOT need to plug in a 6 pin cord even, So that means that it´s not the PSU giving to little power!
