Hey, so I just finished my first ever pc build and can't seem to get my graphics to work.. I am trying to use the asus R7 240 2GB with my asus M5a97 r2.0 motherboard but all that happens is the fan spins for about 2 secs when you first turn on the machine then instantly stops with no sign of life, no post and then a long beep followed by 3 sort beeps from the motherboard which means 'No VGA detected' according to the manual. It would appear to bit be not getting enough power even though I have a 600 W power supply.. The card is defiantly in correctly in the blue x16 slot although I have tried in the black x4 one and got the same result. Is there a pci power option in the bios I'm missing or something?
Note that the card slots not neve an external power input and I have an old nvidea Geforce 220 with an external power and that works fine I have installed windows 10 and everything on that.. I also have access to the BIOS using that.. I just would like the newer card for directX 11 support.
I really hope someone can help and here is the full system specs.
MOTHERBOARD Asus M5A97 R2.0
RAM 8GB X2 HyperX fury red
CPU AMD FX 6350 3.9Ghz.
GPU that I'm trying to get working Asus R7 240 2GB
Card that I'm having to use temporarily NVIDEA GEFORCE 220 S or something not 100% sure..
PSU Aerocool INTERGRATOR 600W
Thank you for any help much appreciated
