hi
we recently bought a new Geforce gt 710 2gb lp, for our old pc.
But when we put it in and powered on, nothing happends on the screen.
Tried both dvi and hdmi, no picture on both.
What to do ?
would appreciate if anyone could help us =)

"so i cant install the driver and get the Geforce 710 to work ?"

It's not a driver issue if you are getting nothing on the screen from the moment you turn on the PC.

The graphics card (if supported by the motherboard) should work even before you install a driver (how else would you install it's Windows driver if you can't see anything on the screen? - lol)

It's just not supported by your PC's old motherboard for reasons previously given.


Although that may be to power hungry.

You should be find with something like a GT 210 instead, I dont think those require UEFI support.

its really incompatible with my system ? and not issue with some settings/cable or something else?

will the 210 guarantee work with the system ? and is better than our currently gpu: Geforce 6800 ?
