So, I upgraded my PC. I replaced the motherboard, CPU and GPU. The GPU however, does not get recognized.
Specs: Mobo: H97 PC Mate (MS-7850)
CPU: Intel Core i3 4360
GPU: Gigabyte R9 380X (just shows standard-VGA graphical adapter currently)
RAM: 2x 4 GB
PSU: 500W (which is enough according to their site)
The GPU is inserted properly, lights up, fans spin, HDMI-cable is inserted through the GPU.
So far I've tried:
- forcing through BIOS to not use motherboard graphics card: resulted in a black screen
- downloading drivers seperately (no progress)
- reseating the graphics card in the pci-e slot, no results
- using my old GPU (Radeon HD 7700 series), which works just fine
I have no idea what might be wrong or how to solve this. The only two issues I can come up with are:
- GPU arrived non functional
- PSU to GPU is not inserted correctly. My PSU didn't come with an 8-slot pci-e, instead came with two 6-slot pci-e cables. I bought a converter (2 molex to 8-slot pci-e) to solve this problem. This however doesn't seem likely because after using the 8-slot converter, I got a screen instead of a black screen.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
