5870 no display!!! help!!

could there be a chance that the overclock i had setup on my mobo would cause a big drain on the psu? It's just when i rebooted with the old graphics card i got a overclock failure...

It's just one single 6 pin which is split into 2 x 6+2 pin power connectors. I only used one.

Could it be Catalyst control center thats causing it? It didn't uninstall properly i think cos its coming up with errors saying incorrect display drivers etc...

Uninstall drivers, reboot and let Windows install basic vga driver. Download latest drivers off Ati site, with CCC and let the install manager do what its meant to do. no need to do anything fancy.:)

I cant do any of that though because the motherboard doesn't even pick up the card so it displays nothing on screen what so ever. Even when i enable basic vga and go to device manager it doesnt pick up the new 5870 card at all

Could be possible, but that PSU is more than enough. How long have you had the PSU for?

only a month or so, surely its not borked after a month? It doesnt feel borked though.
 
I notice when i switch on my computer, the fan spins up, stops then spins up again at full speed?
 
I suggest you do this with your onboard graphics first, to get rid of old ati drivers and just run onboard video with basic drivers and then disable onboard graphics, install new card and pray. Please make sure you are plugging your vga cable into the new card and not the onboard vga, this has been done many a time! LOL.:D
 
I have done all of the above and still no luck, not really got anyone with a big enough power supply to run this card apart from mine unfortunately.

Would i be able to RMA this and get my money back?
 
Would i not be able to get my money back if i was not happy with the product? I read on OCUK's support page if within 28 days of purchase i'll be able to get a full refund...
 
Filling out a RMA form now. From what i've read on the Distance Selling Regulations (2000) if within 7 days of the purchased goods delivered to me i am eligible to get a full refund if i return the goods to OCUK headquarters.

Someone confirm me on that please.

so from what i can see and from what ive analysed i think it maybe my psu thats the problem. I really should try the card on another machine though but i dont have access to a larger psu.
