Hi,

Recently I decided to upgrade my graphics card to a newer one. So, in short, I switched the current Club3d HD4770 to MSI Gtx 750 Ti TF.
However, the probleem is that the system won't boot with the new graphics card. With BIOS switch set to hybrid BIOS, it will just stay at the POST screen and not go any further. When set to legacy BIOS, it will go past the initial POST screen but gives a beeping signal about video card problem and then reboots itself.

Motherboard model is Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3, which should be compatible with the card according to various sources. PSU also should not be an issue, since the new card consumes less power than the old one.

Does anyone have experience installing this card on my motherboard model? What could be done to fix the boot issue?

this sound like the card has a defect and should be returned. get a r9 270 which is stronger and the same price(really the r9 270 is like a gtx 760 just a lot cheaper)

start computer as normal-- got to add/remove programs--- uninstall all your old cards drivers and add on programs for the card--- shut down and then reboot back to desktop normally [ i dont like to do safemode here cause it my hide an issue ] and it should be running on the windows default driver to check-- go to device manager-display- right click your card [it may just say generic vga ] - property's - driver - and see that driver provider is microsoft- if so shut down and turn off psu switch unplug it wait a min or so push the power button like you normally do to start the computer to see if its discharged-- [if the computer comes on for like a second or two and dies it now discharged] then remove your old card and install the new card as proper install instructions show for your new card-- when you got everything in order and installed correctly [monitor and all] put power back to the psu turn on switch start up computer normally and let it boot to desktop and it should be running on windows default drivers if it looks good with no issues install your new cards drivers and reboot as prompted. and hopefully all will be good to go. i like to download the driver from nvidia/amd to a file on the desktop and install it from there

on your new card you may need to wipe the golden fingers clean and put the card in the slot and remove it 2 or 3 times to insure it ''scratches'' in good contact in the slot

put the old card back and start over or recheck things out with it--- also be sure to read the drivers footnotes on the uninstall and install incase theres something added or changed from the last time you did this

Trying with the old graphics card was the first thing I did. Everything seems to be fine when it's attached.
Problems seem to be only with the new card.
Also, it's correct that since I can't get past the post screen, there is no Windows with the new card. So, graphics card drivers should not be an issue.
Wiping the "golden fingers" seems to be an interesting idea. I will try to take the card out and put it back in a few times and see what happens.

Managed to solve this finally. What I did was the following:
1. Placed the old card back in
2. Updated BIOS to latest versioon
3. Removed previous graphics card drivers.
4. Put the new card in - and this time it booted

Hopefully this can help someone who is facing similar issues in the future.
Also thanks to everyone who contributed with the tips and suggestions.
