Gigabyte GA-G41M combo and Sapphire HD 7970

cant-find-one · Jun 2, 2016

Hello all! So I've installed the HD7970 but the computer won't detect it. My monitor just keeps on switching to analog/digital which is searching for a valid video device.

I've re-flashed the BIOS but still gave me the same issue. Is there a compatibility issue between the Gigabyte GA-G41M combo and my Sapphire Radeon HD 7970? Thanks.

Need some more details. This a new card or used? What is the power supply brand and model? What card did you have before this one, did that one work fine before you replaced it? Did you do a BIOS update for the motherboard before installing the card? All power plugged in the card?

Thanks for the reply!

This a new card or used?
- it is used but working as tested by the previous owner

What is the power supply brand and model?
- silverstone strider gold evolution 750w

What card did you have before this one, did that one work fine before you replaced it?
- an ATI 5770. it got busted before i got the 7970.

Did you do a BIOS update for the motherboard before installing the card?
- Yes i re-flashed the BIOS which was a 2012 version. if you happen to know an updated version, please be so kind and share it here.

All power plugged in the card?
- yes, both the 6 and 6+2 pins are plugged in.

I hope that'll do. appreciate the reply!

If it's used, first thing I'd suspect is a bad card.

Your power supply is excellent so should not be any issues there.

If you can find a second system to test the card in will help to narrow things down, just make sure it also has a power supply good enough for the card.
