I am trying to put one of my old graphics cards in a buddies computer for some moderate pc gaming. I am having a hell of a time getting it to work. His PC is a dell inspiron 3847 with windows 8.1
When I plug the hdmi into the graphics card and turn the computer on, nothing appears not even the bios screen. Even if I plug the hdmi back into the integrated plug it wont even give a display. So I had to take the card out and then it would work as normal again.
I tried disabling the integrated graphics and went into bios and enabled multi display graphics. I thought maybe this graphics card is faulty so I took a working graphics card out of my parents desktop and tried to use that one and still no display at all for bois or windows.
The card I am initially trying to put into this computer is a GTX 650. The fans turn on when I power the computer up so i dont think it's the pci express slot being bad.
Anybody have any ideas? I would really appreciate some feedback to see if i can get this figured out. I have delt with an issue like this before on different computers and all I would have to do is enable the pci express in the bios and it fixed it everytime.
PLEASE HELP! lol
