Hi, I've picked up a 7850 from my friend who used to use it in his xfire mobo. When I install the GPU (including the 6pin PIC-E) theres no display.
-It gets power
-its in working condition
-Properly mounted into PCI 3.0 port

I've looked around everywhere online for fixes. I've tried:
- going into the bios and enabling Legacy Boot and disabling secure boot.
- Disabling UEFI from booting entirely from boot menu (only for my PC to not boot as windows boot manager is under UEFI.)
- Updated Bios and Catalyst drivers to most up to date.
- followed Nvidia cust. support on how to install an aftermarket gpu.

my PC is an almost 100% stock h8-1419
mobo - IPMMB-FM (Formosa) -Pegatron
Chipset: intel z75
CPU-i7 3770 3.4Ghz quad core. Hyperthreaded.
-RAM 12 GB DDR3-1600
-PSU XFX 850w single 12v rail.

Oh, Also running win 8.1 x64 bit

Please, Any help would be great! I'm pretty desperate as i've been trying to make this work for 4 days now. Thnx.
 
a lot of prebuilt computers don't take vid card upgrades to well or at all ... looks like that's the boat your in ??

some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that wount post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..


you got to know the the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers there only guaranteed to work as is out of the box as you bought it ,..


be sure your boards got its latest bios maybe that may help ??

look this over as well

Hmm, i have the newest version of the bios (as of 2 days ago) for my board, and if thats the case with the locked bios, It ?might? be worth noting that the card that came stock with it was a hd 7570, an AMD card of a close series. -Thnx for your reply!

*Update* : Also learnt my mobo is compatable with the 7850.
