Graphic's Card displays "No Signal"

Jord9857 · 19 Oct 2019 at 10:48

Hello all,

I've got a ROG GTX 1060 GPU, however when i plug an HDMI cable in it doesn't pick up the monitor.

I've tried installing the driver for this GPU on another laptop hard drive with my laptop, then put that hard drive into my new gaming pc but no luck as the installation of the driver tries and detects the GPU on my laptop which isn't there.

I have got ROG ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z motherboard which doesn't have onboard Graphics to boot up into safe mode etc or generally to then install the driver.

The fans and LED's are working on the graphic's card as it's plugged in via a 8pin as required so i know i don't have any issues there with this graphic's card.

Please help! Any suggestion / ideas more than welcome & would be really helpful!

Kind Regards
Jord

Tried a different cable? BIOS up to date? Did it ever work? Full system specs?

Tried 2 monitors, tried different HDMI cables. Not sure as it's not turned on yet just built it.

Does it work if you have a monitor connected via a Displayport cable?

Have you remembered to plug the power cable(s) into the GPU itself?

Does it have sufficient current on the 12v rail for the GPU? Exactly which PSU is this?

I don't have a display port monitor or cable

Yes plugged in via an 8pin

Plugged in via an 8pin from a 600W PSU. It seems to have enough power as all 3 fans are spinning & LED's on on etc.

I've tried all the different PCIE slots on the motherboard as well.

This may not be the issue but have you plugged HDMI into the GPU or Motherboard?

Motherboard has no HDMI/VGA/DVI/Display ports or onboard graphics, therefore the HDMI cable has been plugged into the graphic's card

Do you get a display at the BIOS screen and not Windows? Or nothing even at BIOS?

Is the 1060 new or used?

Jord9857 · 19 Oct 2019 at 14:14

Nothing at all just 'No Signal'. Used but was working fine with other person i bought it off.

Hades · 19 Oct 2019 at 14:16

Did you see it working?

Jord9857 · 19 Oct 2019 at 14:19

Seen it plugged in with the LED's and fans, do you reckon the GPU is faulty as i will send it back already contacted seller i bought off.

That is not a sufficient diagnostic. If you have a very poor PSU it may not be giving enough power to the GPU.

600w PSU will be enough even a poor one. Its only a 1060 and its only showing a 2D screen! Sounds like you got a duff card. No display is a common fault people try the oven method or use a hot air gun to reflow the solder/cure the fault but it gives mixed results.

So you're suggesting to send it back as it's broken?

Just checked all these switches by the PCIE slots are turned on. However there is a orange light by the ASUS network card & another orange light by the BIOS_LED.

The power pins in the top left corner which trip out has 'ATX 12V' next to it.

Unable to upload photos unfortunately just tried.
