GRAPHICS CARD No display, fans are spinning, short beeps

Ethereal Hacker · Feb 1, 2015

Hello good day.

I've been having a problem with my graphics card. When i seat it in the PCI-e slot and start the computer, the monitor gets no signal. Fans are spinning and the CPU's lights are on.

My graphics card is PALIT GeForce GT 630.

This is my first time putting in a graphics card. I have an onboard card but it's simply not enough for gaming and doing some photoshop stuff.

SPECS:
CPU: Pentium Dual-core CPU E6600 @ 3.06 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
PSU: I'm still not quite sure about it. Its brand is Genie Power ATX 600W. How do I know the PSU energy output?
Chipset: Intel G41 Express Chipset
Motherboard: Emaxx IG41D3-iCafe
BIOS: American Megatrends

I'm looking forward for your answers! Thank you and have a good day!

you have an external graphic card and you get this problem. Then probably your graphic cards busted.
This problem is very common due to dust residing on the graphic card/graphic card slot. Just take out the graphic card, and with a paint brush clean the metal parts and the graphic card slot. Be very careful when doing so as this slot are very delicate. Do so at your own risk.
2. This problem may occur if you computer heats up very much.
*Clean up the insides of your Pc with a paint brush at least once a month. (Due to Dust)
*Try hooking up an extra cooling fan to your Pc to reduce the heat.
*Keep your Pc in a well ventilated area such as close to a window.
*If your Pc is a expensive one, try installing a liquid cooling system to it. May at least cost 300$.

Hope this helps.

if onboard video is still on. in the bios make sure the primany display is set to peg/pci. on the card check to see if the card itself needs more then pci slot power. make sure the mb has the newest bios file to rule out a bios bug.
on the power supply there be a lable for max wattage and the wattage of the 12v/5v/3.3 rails.

Actually the most common cause is that the bios is still set to igpu and not pci-e gpu.

Cleaning once a month is not needed with good case filters, and may cause more problems than it solves.
An extra cooling fan will increase dust problems if you already have them, the OP is reporting no heat problems
Not putting it next to a radiator is good enough for location
Install a liquid cooling solution if it is warranted due to heat and noise issues, not because it's expensive.

My power supply has no wattage label on the sticker. How would I know its power? And also, will the card work if the power supply cannot meet the required wattage?

Thanks. I'll try this later. Should I use a soft bristled brush?
