Okay well where do i start? (I'm quite frustrated)
Day 1: Bought new graphics card (GTX 650ti 2GB)
Day 2: Got PSU adaptor in mail finally to connect the 6pin power to the gpu. after connecting everything. Boot system everying spinning gpu included. no signal on monitor. Tried connecting the adapter to another unused connector from the psu. Still no signal.
Day 3: uninstalled all old drivers from my AMD graphics card. Looked for posts here. No problem fixed with any of the possible solutions on here.
So information I'm giving you here is what I need an fix for. Here everything I know about the PC and what I'm doing.

So if any knows what I could be doing wrong or what I should try to do that I don't lose any data or mess up my MOBO or system in any way. I greatly appreciate it. I continue to do research online and see I'll update this if i find anything and/or fix.

PC Specs are as follows:
PSU: Xtreme Gear 600w
Motherboard:MSI GF615-P33
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Athlon X2 (something like that)
RAM: x2 2GB g.skill
HDD: 1TB wd black
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5670 1GB

you need to connect the monitor directly to the new video card


that card should have a DVI connection


your monitor uses DVI

precisely it is this exactly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xtreme-Gear-600W-20-24-ATX-PSAZ-CP600-PCI-E-SLI-Computer-PC-Power-Supply-Retail-/251127243262
It doesn't have a 6pin included that's why I ordered an adapter to connect to that PSU. The whole problem is why is there no display/no signal. Here's some new discovered information I forgot to mention the graphics card I'm switching from the monitor was plugged into it. The new 650 ti does not have a port for my current monitor. Does that mean I need a new monitor for it to work?

I don't know exactly what you mean? Though the monitor connection can go into the motherboard port that didn't work either obviously. Just the monitor will not go into the new video card. The port is different. I mean I don't know what connection terms are but it's blue and has two tightening screws on the sides. Sorry I'm just new to desktop upgrading I thought it was simple uninstall and then upgrade and install. Apparently I was way off.

Here a exact model and picture of connections. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-X-203H-BD-20-Widescreen-LCD-Monitor-/111886694563?hash=item1a0cf778a3:g:mVQAAOSwSHZWgAsp

New video card. No way to fit wrong port entirely. Correct?


If it helps this is like the exact new video card I'm trying to install and work correctly.

the blue one is a VGA plug


look at the back of the monitor, it should have a DVI connector like your new video card
