I am unable to get the EVGA GTX 650 TI to display anything with either a VGA adapter or the Mini HDMI to HDMI connection. The computer sounds like it is booting up normally (whirming and beeping) but nothing is displaying.

[ Exact MOBO ] (PCI-E x16 ver. 1)

[ PSU ] (725 Watt)

[ Graphics Card in Question ]
I am unsure as to whether the issue is with compatibilities of the card with the motherboard, but from what I have read it seems that the PCI-E ver. 3.0 is backwards compatible as far as ver. 1. The PCI-E 6pin cable is plugged in to the card properly. I have cleared the CMOS using the method listed in the MOBO link (above) which required just moving the plastic cap forward off the pins for a moment.
Possibly unrelated notes:
- My CD Tray will open when I press the eject button but automatically retreats after opening.
- My Previous working graphics card was a Geforce 8400 GS (worked)
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. ]]]:
Thank you,

"Check the sensors between the idle and full load and the bus interface to see if it changes from pci-e 1 to 2 if your board has a pci-e 2.0 slot ..."
I don't think I understand I ran the render test but I did not see any section on the "sensors" tab that gave me information about the GPU's idle state but I did see the full load information. GPU-Z says I need an update on my program so I'll do that when I get a chance and get back to you.

GPU-Z IMAGE
^^ Thats my info. This is a pre-built system. I hope this helps some people in other threads.Below are some indicators that I think are clues that the BIOS is blocking the hardware upgrade.
-Fan is operating on Graphics Card (PCI-E cable plugged in)
-You have met the manufacture's required wattage (PSU)
-Black Screen (no signal)
-Computer is beeping like it would if it was normally booting up.
I know these are very general terms but these are the indicators I recall.

some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that wount post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..
you got to know the the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers there only guaranteed to work as is out of the box as you bought it ,..
