Have you tried with the GFX removed and the monitor directly connected to the board?

Have you put both power cables into the gfx card?

Try updating the motherboards BIOS.

Seems to be quite a few stories lately of HD79xx cards lately with no display output.

I've just bought a HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 and it too isn't working though I have a z68 chipset!

There has been issues with certain NVidia cards with this motherboard also, I seem to remember a Bios update sorted the issue.

Z77, bios update required, your not the first, nor will you be the last

Remove card, hook up a display to the onboard connector, update bios, re-install 7900 card - job done

its not just that it wont work with the monitor although it doesnt if i connect it it will just say no display connected, its working as the fans are on but its as if it isnt connected the mobo at all

Okay thankyou how do I update the bios for this mb

+1 you need latest beta maybe for the gpu

use a usb memory stick and press end at gigabyte splash screen and flash the bios through qflash

download this bios and extract it to the usb stick

http://www.mediafire.com/?mzo66231rs6079e f18c beta(d3h right? not ud3h?) if so use the bios

obv youll need to unplug the gpu and boot from onboard graphics/flash bios and then plug in your graphic card

you could try taking battery out wait 5mins then put it back in then see if it works

jordan221095 · 9 Apr 2013 at 20:50

ive updated my bios and it still isnt working aand im not sure what to do now

wazza300 · 9 Apr 2013 at 21:14

Tried setting first display as peg in the BIOS while using onboard,save exit then install gpu and see if it works

Tested with DVI/hdmi/vga ports if your monitor supports them?

jordan221095 · 9 Apr 2013 at 21:43

Will this help because it isnt just not displaying anything when I try using it it wont even show up when I try install drivers or use afterburner and it just stays on 100% fan speed

wazza300 · 9 Apr 2013 at 22:27

I don't know,i thought a bios update would get it working,can you try the latest final bios from gigabytes website? just search for your motherboard,other than that idk what to suggest as it should work fine without any hassle

jordan221095 · 9 Apr 2013 at 22:30

Okay so if it doesn't work after trying what you just said could it mean its a problem with the gpu

Is it an MSI card?

jordan221095 · 9 Apr 2013 at 22:48

Yeah not sure if thats good or bad news for me

There seems to be a bit of a recurring theme with these MSI 7950's, send it back.

jordan221095 · 9 Apr 2013 at 22:54

Oh right should I just order another or would you recommend a different card like an asus and do I just semd it back to overclockers ? Thanks for the help by the way
