Computer wont post with graphics card plugged in. (probs pcie slot problem)

poliwaggamers · Sep 20, 2017

Hi, So a while back i made myself a custom cooler for a graphics card that i got for cheap. After using it for some time it suddenly stopped working. First I reset CMOS. didn't work, next I changed graphics card to one i knew worked before, Didn't work and finally I loaned a different psu to test with, Didn't work. Im pretty sure it's the pcie slot now, since before it stopped working I took it to a Lan and back, probably putting too much weight to the pcie slot. Does anyone know something to try?, would like to get the pc working again.

Do you have onboard graphics? If so try to boot into your BIOS and set it to use the PCI-e slot, then try your GPU with one stick of ram, try every slot. If it is not this check to make sure your CPU pins are not bent, this can usually be a culprit to this also.

if this board have 2 pci-e x slot try gpu in the second one .

What are the specs, including PSU? Always good to provide all the relevant information up-front. Generic questions can only really get generic answers. Have you done all the steps in the stickied no-post checklist?

Hi, sorry for late answer. These are the specs:
4gb ddr2
Mobo p5kpl-cm
Spire power 420w
core 2 quad q6600
Powercolor radeon hd 7850 v2 2gb

Also I have tried with different ram sticks. Onboard graphics are gma 3100 I think. Only has one pcie slot.

Try removing the GPU and booting with a single stick of ram (Try all slots).

Darkvillain :

Removing the gpu and everything works fine through the integrated graphics, but I want to keep the gpu in. any ideas?

scout_03 · Sep 21, 2017

have gpu test in another system .

I have tested another gpu in this system that i know for a fact works. No difference.

Darkvillain · Sep 21, 2017

Boot into your bios and set your graphics to use the PCIe slot instead of onboard.

poliwaggamers · Sep 21, 2017

Darkvillain :

I have tested that, no difference

poliwaggamers :

Next place to try is swapping out the junky PSU. Would not be shocking to see it give up the ghost given its quality.

"finally I loaned a different psu to test with, Didn't work."

I have tried that aswell, psu was a corsair one so it should be fine.

scout_03 · Sep 22, 2017

from what we could read your gpu pci-e slot is out so you might need another board .

scout_03 :

Sadly, that's what I thought.
