Which pci plug for gpu?

Nope the psu is fine, I get the two beeps what I've always got then It try's to boot, I've found the exact same video on YouTube but they say doing the power button trick to reset but it doesn't work on mine, not got a clue now as I'm quickly running out of ideas!
At this rate I will have enough posts to enter the for sale section lol instead of waiting for the next two years to fill my post score

Are you able to boot into windows again?

Do some googling and see that the two are compatible or not. You shouldn't have had that level of hassle flashing your BIOS, but it might be a necessity to flash of the current BIOS doesn't support that card.
 
I didn't even get round to putting the card in to see if it worked, when I rebooted after flashing to the new bios it had the problem at the moment I'm sitting in the bios screen, not tried to restart yet
 
hitting my head against the wall today, got it all back to the old bios, got back onto Windows all seemed fine so I rebooted it just to check and it's stuck in the loop again!
Can anyone help what happening?
Not even got a chance to put the card in since this all happened

Think I'm about to turn my motherboard into a frisbee and kill next doors cat with it...

No mate, turns on then off about a 5 maybe 10 second gap in a loop,
Tried a paper clip to trick the psu to see if it had died and it still works ( from corsair site video )

Don't want to go and lay out for a new psu and that ain't the problem, wondering if it could be it now as its been on and off loads of times today might of died
 
Hard to tell, mate. Get the battery back out it and try to boot with no gpu although it does sound like either the motherboard or the PSU is on the way out.

You got a second system to try the PSU out?
 
The gpu never made it into there, I'm proper stuck as I've only got the one pc, using my iPad right now.
I can't see the bios killing my psu could it? Or the mb is bricked, but still I managed to get it too boot back in safe mode at one point, now it won't stay powered up for longer than 10 seconds

Pull the whole thing apart.
Clear CMOS by removing the battery.
Remove all cables and re-seat them.
The same with the RAM, pull it all out and re-seat.
Then, try to boot with only keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Also, make sure your CPU fan is running (pull out the plug and re-seat in the fan header) - The power down thing could be a symptom of overheating, or the system thinks it has no cooling.

If this doesn't work, then you're looking at borrowing a PSU to try to rule that out.

I'm running out of ideas, mate. You're not having much luck.

When you updated the BIOS, did it run through the flash process (it should have gave you a progress output of some sort, maybe a bar on the screen or numbers counting up or down)?
 
I had the day to myself apart from my kids floating about in and out, ive tried everything ram out all leads out only thing I've not done is to take my cou cooler off as I ain't got no paste to reseat it.
 
Hopefully someone will have a read and come up with something. I'm out of ideas. :(

Did the BIOS update when you flashed it, as in it definitely went through the update process and reboot? You confirmed the new BIOS version was installed?
