Hello.
I've recently bought a new GTX 960 gaming 2g but I can't seem to get it to work. I plugged it into the same slot as my 3-year old GTX 550 ti which works fine. My MB is msi z77a-g45, but its version dates back to 2012. I heard about some BIOS updates bricking the motherboard so I've tried to avoid that.
Basically, when the card is plugged in, it boots the PC normally, but I get no screen at all, tried different cables (vga and hdmi) and two different monitors. The leds and fans work fine on the GPU but I get absolutely no visual at all.
Also, when the card is plugged in but not connected to a monitor, it still won't show a screen even if I plug my monitor in my MB's VGA port. So I'm sure PCI is prioritized over MB in the BIOS.
Is my card faulty, or do I really have to upgrade my BIOS? Or is there another solution?
