Hello!
Google seems to have a lot of information about this kind of problems, but I couldn't find the exact situation as mine.
So I installed new Asus HD6670 video card on my PC and it doesn't boot, just freezes at the BIOS splash screen. I am not able to enter the BIOS either. Even if I plug the video cable into integrated gpu slot and leave the new card inserted, PC still does the same. It only boots up if I throw the new card out and run the pc only with integrated gpu or using my old PCI video card.
I have checked all the settings on bios to make it sure it will use the PCI card.
My old video card is more power-hungry compared to the new one, so there is no way its PSU's fault.
Possible problems:
My BIOS version is very old (~2006 or 2007) but i can't update it either (at least in a regular way, using exe files provided by motherboard's manufacturer). It just fails during the process.
PCI incompatibility - motherboard supports PCI E 1.0. Now, my new Asus HD6670 is PCI E 2.1. I red that some guys having problem making work such configuration, but I put this card to my mom's PC (which is really crappy) and the pc booted just fine, so I'm having doubts about incompatibility.
Spent my whole day won this, don't know what else to do.
Any possible solutions?
