Hey. I'm doing a new build here and can get everything working fine until I try to install a PCI graphics card (gtx 970). When I put in the card, the monitor is just black. The fans are going, but nothing else.
The onboard graphics work fine. Until I put in the graphics card.
Since this mb doesn't have a speaker and my case doesn't either, I don't know if it's beeping at me.
I tried the gpu in all three PCI slots with the same results. I tried this gpu on my other computer and it works. I tried another gpu on this same motherboard and got the same blank screen
I have a monitor plugged into the onboard graphics and another one plugged into the pci card, but I'm not seeing anything on either one.
Without the card in, the system boots up fine. I've even installed windows and such. But I can't get a graphics card to work.
I even tried changing from a 550w PSU to a 750W and it didn't make a difference.
Am I looking at a bad mb where none of the slots work?
System:
Gigabyte GA-z170MX-gaming 5
i5-6600k, 3,5 ghz
EVGA GTX 970
8 mb of Fury HyperX DDR4
750W Corsair
SSD
