So, here's my setup.
Motherboard: Intel dz77sl-50k
Tower: COUGAR MX200
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3
HDD- WD Blue 1TB
Wireless card: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800
Cpu: Intel i5 2500k 3.3Ghz
Psu: Corsair CX750M
Graphics card: Evga GeForce GTX 650
The issue is that I purchased an Evga GTX 1060 6GB as an upgrade, and my computer would not detect it. I didn't uninstall the previous drivers from the 650, but that shouldn't have affected it. It was powered correctly with a 6+2 pin connector, with much more wattage than necessary, and correct plug ins. I did not disable on-board graphics during initial installation, either - I couldn't access the bios. That's an issue that I'll discuss further in. So, I thought it was a PCIe problem, and tried the previous card, the 650, which worked. I figured I got a broken card, so I returned it, and exchanged it for an XFX Radeon rx 480 8GB, hoping it would work.
It did not. This is about 5 hours into the initial process of purchase, setup, and return of the initial 1060. I was not happy. I tried everything I knew how to do, which involved disabling on board graphics, uninstalling the previous drivers, etc. Then came the bios. This was the day after, because I had enough at that point. I had my friend who has experience with computers and works as a technician look at it, and it came down to the bios being the issue.
Later that night, I had to flash the bios to a flash drive, remove the configuration cap, and go through that process. Once completed, I tried to enter the bios, and was successful. However, that still has not gotten me anywhere, and my friend hasn't been able to take a look at it in person yet. It's simply not being recognized as a viable card when I go into the bios and check all that out, whereas the 650 is being recognized without issue.
I don't know what to do now. I've determined it's not a pcie slot issue, it's not a PSU issue (I'm like 80% sure about that) and its not a motherboard issue (maybe? 79% sure), and I don't know what to do in the bios.
I can provide pictures of the bios and everything. I just don't want this multi-hundred dollar purchase to be wasted, and then find out I can't upgrade anyway. Plus, it was the last thing I wanted to buy. Just want those graphics.
And now, I turned off legacy boot in the bios, turned it back on, and was met with a black screen. That kept happening, so I just went to flash the bios back onto it, and when I replaced the configuration pin and turned it on, it beeped three times, followed by another three times, over and over. I've tried taking out the cmos battery too and leaving it out for an hour but that didn't even work. Tried re seating the cpu. Didn't work. Tried disconnecting the HDD. Didn't work. Now I can't get it to turn on at all.
PLEASE help.
