No signal when i connect monitor to gpu.

[nevesbilly74]

So I recently got a whole new pc and a asus GeForce gtx 1050 (unplugged) graphics card. I think I have installed it correctly since the fans are running. But when I Connect the hdmi to the monitor through the gpu there’s no signal, just a black screen. I can put the hdmi into the pc itself and I get signal. Someone please help!

Sounds like the 'Primary Graphics adapter' in the bios is set to use the Integrated GPU so you may just need to change that to Pcie or PEG (Pci-E Graphics)

Couldn’t find those things In the bios. I thought disabling the on board graphics would maybe work so I did it. Now my pc does 5 beeps when I start it up which I think means cpu failure. How can I fix this?

Flash the bios and restore default factory setting upon first power on.

Sorry I’m kinda new to pc stuff. Is flashing the bios risky? I may just take it In for servicing

You can think of it as a firmware update. Identify your motherboard download the latest version on a usb stick and follow this guide https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-upgrades/how-update-your-bios-3428662/

If this is an OEM system, what is the make and full model# of it (usually found on a label on the back.
If this one you or a friend built then which motherbd do you have?

To fix the mess up, just unplug the pc at the rear and then pull out the little nickle sized battery on the motherboard for about 20 minutes. Put the battery back in, plug in the power, and boot up. That will reset the bios to default values.
You may need to reset the date and time.

I may try this but just a bit worried that it may void my warranty if I mess anything up.

This is my motherboard
gigabyte ga-h110m-m.2

I took the battery out and put it back in and it fixed that problem thank you very much. Now, back to the graphics card problem.

If this is a built pc, what is the make and model# of the motherbd.

If this is an OEM, like HP or Dell, whats the model# from the label on the back please.

I didn’t build the pc. I now know that my brand new gtx 1050 is broken. I used my friends old rx460 gpu and it works fine. Time to bring it in to get a replacement.
