Part list linked at the bottom...
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this card isn't detected in my system when I've tested it in two other systems where it worked just like it should so any input here would be much appreciated.
It's not being detected at all in windows, in my bios I have set pci-e as priority and there are no other options associated with the gpu, my gtx 660 ti is currently in the system and running just fine and there are still no other options or anything else "detecting" any gpu in my bios, it is just not a feature or option on this mobo.
I have tried connecting the 970 with a dvi-agp adapter to my monitor and hdmi to a tv but get no display either way..
I have tried deleting all old drivers and disabling the onboard geforce 7025.
I am about to restart after installing 132 windows updates to see if that makes any difference.
The msi 970 4g has a 6 pin and 8 pin power connection and both are plugged in directly from the modular psu without any type of adapter.
The 660ti is being replaced with 970 until all the parts for a new build come in, I understand that the 970 will be bottlenecked by this setup but I want it to work so I can use the 660 in another system I'm selling.
The 970 lights up and the fans come on for a little bit then the fans shut off which is how it is supposed to work until the card reaches a certain temp to trigger the fans but still no output from the card and still no detection in device manager.
I'm hoping someone can just look at my setup and say "oh that's why" so I can stop banging my head against a wall but I am open to trying some more troubleshooting.
I did see a thread about the bios on a similar mobo not being uefi and not being compatible with the 970 but I also saw other threads contradicting that but I really don't know.
