I recently bought a AMD Radeon HD 7770 from Gigabyte to replace my AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card (due to incompatibilities)...
After installing the card, everything was fine except for the fact my pc didn't recognise the card correctly and claimed it was an ATI Radeon 3000. Soon after this I noticed the fan did not spin and checked the manual. It did not say that I had to plug the graphics card into the PSU too but after searching the internet and finding a better manual it did say to plug it in.
After doing this I found that the fan does work but my display graphics will not boot at all. Is there anyway I can plug the graphics card in and not get this error or is this a faulty card? (Also this was my first time installing a graphics card myself)
Specifications:
620w PSU
Gigabyte Ultra Durable Classic 4 78LMT-USB3 motherboard
2 tb Seagate hard drive
8 gb Ballistix sport RAM
AMD FX 6-Core processor
Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7770 Graphics card
Windows 8.1 64x
4:3 ratio monitor plugged into the VGA output connected directly to the motherboard
