http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360622233044&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

and a new Sapphire HD 7770 graphics card

Issue im having is when I plug 6 pin in and monitor to new graphics card, I get 4/5 short beeps and a blank monitor, unplug the 6 pin and plug the monitor back into main port, PC works fine.

I cant find out why this is doing it, some people have said go to BIOS and disable current card, but cant find it on there.

Is the PSU not good enough (Was told it was)
Could graphics card be faulty? (its new)

Im getting really frustrated with the whole thing, im not a PC tech but followed a lot of advice,

could be a bad mother board socket, or the PSU can't handle it. In my opinion OCZ Is a terrible brand. I have RMA'd both the products I bought from them and they still shit the bed.


AMD A Series CPU have integrated graphics. Try to disable the on board graphics and then install your card.

I would also say try going into your bios and disabling the integrated graphics.

Went into Bios but could find the part i needed, understand bios are different for PC's any wording I need to look for?

Is this PSU ok, i know its not the best but for know is it ok?

I know its not the best psu, but it looks like you have sufficient amperage on the 12v rails. I feel like the psu is not your problem.

You could try disbelieving/uninstalling the integrated graphics in device manager before inserting and installing your new graphics card.
Click on the Start Orb.
In the Start Search box type: device manager and then press enter.
Go to Display adapters and right click the integrated graphics.

It is always a possibility. But i believe the one you have should be sufficient for a 7770. I would explore other options before replacing it.

Damn those people who said installing a new graphics card was easy!

It normally is, When you plugged your graphics card into the pci slot, Did you plug in the connector from the power supply to graphics card?

yea the 6 pin, and monitor into the card, 4 beeps and blank screen
go back to old way, PC card and monitor slot PC works great

4 beeps usually means that the motherboard is not detecting the gpu. I would say try the following. (this is after uninstalling or integrated graphics drivers from device manager.)

-Try reseating your graphics card. try a different 6 pin connector if your psu has more then one.
-Update your bios on motherboard

but it works if i take the 6 pin out of the card and use standard pc card, so cant be GPU??
