My Monitor gets no signal unless I remove the power source from my video card. Then Reboot and it loads with the integrated video card. The Video Card is a Geforce GTX 550 Ti, power source is RaidMax 500w, 10a/5a (not exactly sure what information there is important.)
No this computer I got on Craigslist and clearly a mistake. I have attached 3 monitors, and using VGA on motherboard, and DVI, and DVI and HDMI on graphics card. Before I did anything else.
Now I have read as much as I could on the net about similar problems. I have removed ram in all slots to test memory
I have already bought a new -exact- video card as I thought that was bad, I was wrong.
I have uninstalled drivers, and changed Bio's I assume correctly.
I have removed and reattached -every- connection.
The computer seems to work normally if i disconnect the power source from the videocard, I am not convinced its my motherboard or PCI slot and don't have the money to replace that now.
I am lacking a more powerful powersupply to test as the computer I have tested most things on is an older compaq. Including the video card and still the same -exact- problem. However it is possible that PCI port is bad or not compatible with the videocard, so not a good comparison.
I have a bad feeling it will be some stupid and easy problem that I am over looking. I would love any suggestions before I start pulling my hair out and taking it to a computer repair shop. I am not overly versed in computer hardware, but have been able to replace majority or parts inside them. I hope I provided enough information. Thanks.
