No display from gpu

[sickness24]

I am trying to get my new build to boot. I can get it to run fine with no gpu in off my i5 3570 graphics, but when I install my evga 660ti I get nothing. I have both 6 pin power cables on the card, but one has an extra 2 pin connector coming off it that is not used? I have tried both pci slots and get nothing. The card poweres on fine, and fans spin fine but I get no display. I get the A9 code on my asrock xtreme4 display thing on the mobo. Please help

Now I am getting a d6 code. Manual says d6 means no consol output devices are found. I have tried hdmi, VGA, a monitor and my tv and no display on nothing.

this board got 2 pci-e slot did you try the second one and that 660ti need power cable from psu

 

[sickness24]

Both power plugs are installed. Tried just 1 stick of ram, both pice slots and still nothing. I have not yet installed any disks btw, just trying to get it to boot with the gpu in right now if it matters. Do I need to rma the card? Being my 1st build, I don't know if it's truly bad yet.

check your bios, there are sometimes options regarding video output

does the onboard video work with the card installed?? if so you could try booting up with onboard video, see if you can install drivers, and then see if the card works

I'm kind of feeling that perhaps your default video isn't set to pci-express I would go into your motherboard under your integrated display from your i5 and make sure that your primary display is set to pci express I ran into this when I installed my Gigabyte 670 I felt really dumb.

Default video is set to pci express. I am about out of ideas that I know to try.

which motherboard are you using I see extreme 4 but I don't know if that is z68 or z77 I have Asrock extreme 4 gen 3.

 

[sickness24]

It's an asrock extreme 4 z77

Hmm just seems very odd you are getting video from your onboard but not your video card your power supply is more then enough. You can try with a new card and see if the problem persists. Hopefully its that and not the motherboard itself.

Well I got it all to work finally. Turns out the motherboard bios needed updated to recognize my egva 660ti ftw card. Works great now as I am typing off it and installing bf3 thanks for the help
