New MoBo, graphics card spins no display. Onboard doesn't work either.

Zack Feitsma · Nov 1, 2014

I just bought a Gigabyte 78lmt-usb3 mobo, an amd fx 8320 cpu, and 16 gigs of ram (axiom 1066's, 2x8gb). I have a GTX 750ti graphics card as well as a 600W psu. My issue is that the fan on the graphics card spins, but I get no display. Same story when I move my DVI cable to the onboard graphics. My card works fine with my old motherboard, and its the same PCI-e16 connection. The card also doesn't need any extra power from the PSU. I did not reset and reinstall the bios cause I bought this computer a while ago without the Windows 7 disk. I am rather confused about this. All my connections work, all the lights and ports, and everything is connected right. (thank the lord for labelled connectors) I'm pretty much stuck cause every other person that has a similiar issue can use their onboard graphics. Any tips would be appreciated!

Connected the graphics card to the power supply?

i7Baby :

The graphics card doesn't have a 6x2 slot on it. It doesn't need it to run fine on my old motherboard.

Does your 750ti have a PSU connector?

i7Baby :

Nope. Unless its under some plastic cover, it doesn't. I've looked for one.

i7Baby · Nov 1, 2014

OK. Some do is all.

Are you using DVI-I or DVI-D to the monitor?

Zack Feitsma · Nov 1, 2014

i7Baby :

DVI-D

i7Baby · Nov 1, 2014

And the monitor has DVI-D too?

Zack Feitsma · Nov 1, 2014

i7Baby :

Yep. The monitor and gpu have no issues with the old motherboard. I can switch up the cables and run with the old one, but it's DDR2 and not good for gaming (hence the upgrade). It's weird. Everything works, except there's no picture. I can't get int the bios though, cause I got no picture, even from the onboard graphics.

If you can't get onboard graphics to work either then I'd say you got a problem with your motherboard.

It needs BIOS F3 on it to support that CPU. If this isnt on it now, it wont go

Zack Feitsma · Nov 2, 2014

Paul NZ :

The bios on the hard drive is F4c. Any ideas on how to switch that to F3?

Paul NZ · Nov 2, 2014

No on the mobo not the hdd

Zack Feitsma · Nov 2, 2014

Oh. Then my old mobo has F4c. Any ideas as to how I would get it on there then?

i7Baby · Nov 2, 2014

Download and install from the mobo website.

Zack Feitsma · Nov 2, 2014

i7Baby :

So basically use @bios to update the bios of the old motherboard/cpu? Cause I can't see how I could possibly do it for the new motherboard/cpu since I have no display.

i7Baby · Nov 2, 2014

Buy a 990fx mobo that can be used with your 8 core cpu.

Zack Feitsma · Nov 2, 2014

i7Baby :

I shouldn't have to, my cpu is on the supported list of the mobo. Unless somehow I was shipped a defective mobo...
