HIS Radeon HD 6770 Black screen

[imabooterfly]

I received my new >HIS Radeon Hd 6770< from newegg this morning. So right away i took out my old Card
(Radeon HD 3650 512MB) and plopped in the new one. My Motherboard only had one pci-e x16 slot so i put it in that one. The card came with a 2x 4-pin to 1 6-pin adapter(?) so i took two 4-pin connectors from my >PSU<, plugged into the 4-pin slots, then plugged the 6-pin into the card. After that I took the DVI to VGA connector that came with the card and plugged my monitor into it.
Now I turned on my PC, the cpu fan revved up, the card's fan revved up, but the monitor was blank... Nothing showed up at all and I could not even go into the BIOS.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the problem is.
I uninstalled my drivers and disabled my old card beforehand btw.
HELP!


please?

do you have a 6 pins pci connector directly on the psu

No my psu doesn't have a 6-pin connector but the card came with one that had two slots for 4-pin connectors and a 6-pin output at the end. why?

card ask for a 450 watts and you only got 400 with 22 amp so psu could not make the card work
try to find a friend with a more powerfull psu to test your graphic card to make shure card is not defective ,
if card work then psu in the one to update for a more powerful

Well, it's quite low... I think around $25-$35

 

[scout_03]

well you better stay with the old card for now a good psu cost the double of this by the way give the name and model for your motherboard some older card could not handle new graphic card

Can I just replace the psu?

 

[scout_03]

got two link for you fisrt specs of motherboard http://www.ctechinfo.net/manuals/leonite_manual.pdf
then this for info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express your motherboard support pci-e version 1 and the card you want to use is a version 2.1 so motherboard could not make her work

But I read somewhere that v 2.1 cards can work on v 1 slots?
and i think my current card is pci-e 2.0
EDIT
wow sorry... I should have read that wiki article you posted: "2.1 breaks backwards compatibility"
oh well... so I need a new Motherboard AND PSU?

 

[scout_03]

befor you buy something what are the specs of the other parts and complete mobo is not a dell or hp or any similar maker

Well i think i might just get a refund for the 6770 and buy a gts 450 because it is almost the same performance and takes less power and is pci-e 2.0
Btw my cpu: pentium d 945@ 3.4 ghz
Ram:4 gb ( 2 sticks 2gb ddr2 533 MHz)
HDD: samsung hd400LJ 400gb sata 7200 rpm(not sure)

 

[scout_03]

i would suggest to to take that refund money from the 6770 and get a new psu and wait when you will have more available to go for a graphic card then upgrade motherboard cpu an memory,because even with the 459 gtx you will be limited by the cpu speed and memory to gain any perf with those parts
