Hey there!
I just built my lady a new PC with everything brand new ordered from Newegg (see complete list of system parts below).
Everything is working fine except the SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 isn't being recognized by the system, instead the motherboard is using the on-board video. I'm wondering if maybe the video card is DOA, although the FAN runs... basically I'm trying to make sure and rule out whether the Video Card is bad, or maybe its the MOBO that has a defective PCIEX16 slot...
Here's what I've tried:
-Flashed the BIOS with the most up to date software
-Went through all the BIOS settings to make sure everything was configured properly
-Re-Seated RAM, Video Card
-Tried Multiple different connections from the Power Supple to the Video Card
The weirdest thing is that the system boots up into Windows7 (the MOBO defaults to the on-board Video if no PCI Express card is recognized) and when I check the Device Manager there is not even an "Unknown Hardware" entry for the Video Card. Nothing, like its not even plugged in even though the fan is running on it.
SYSTEM PARTS:
COOLER MASTER Elite 330 RC-330-KKN1-GP Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Sony Optiarc CD/DVD Burner Black SATA Model AD-7260S-0B
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
ViewSonic VA2231w - LED Black 22" 1920x1080 5ms Full HD LED Backlight LCD
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 100283-3L Video Card
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W Power Supply compatible with core i7
GIGABYTE GA-H55M-UD2H Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i3-540 3.06GHz LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core Desktop Processor
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!
