Hi guys,

Im slamming my head into a wall over this one.

I've just purchased a second hand

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming

It's plugged into a Z87M OC Formula from ASRock

and being powered by a Seasomic 650w PSU.

The card is powered, it is not being recognized by the PC....

Any tips guys? :) Will promptly answer any questions..

Hi guys,

So, for whatever reason, the HDMI port didn't want to be used on itself, it would work in conjunction with HDMI. I went and saw the guy it was purchased off and the card worked in his machine.

I'm currently using a DVI -> HDMI adapter and it is working fine...

A little weird but problem is solved.
