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

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

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.

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.
 
I tried it with a tv. As this motherboard doesn't have any onboard graphic's I'm unable to tell whether I'm doing something wrong or what is broken.

My old PC doesn't seem to work anymore either so no unfortunately.
 
Well... there is a orange light by the ASUS network card & another orange light by the BIOS_LED whatever this means?

There's 8 power pins in the top left corner which has 'ATX 12V' next to it, whenever i plug a 8pin from the PSU (600W) into this it trips everything out immanently until i unplug it and then everything comes back to life. I identified this issue by manually unplugging everything then re-plugging everything one by one, any suggestions why this is happening? This is what believes to be powering my CPU (i7 2600k)
 
Apologies, did some testing and worked this out.

So the 24 pin is plugged in to the right slot, the 8 pin is plugged into the top left corner which is powering the CPU. (took the GPU out so it's not plugged in or powered) the power isn't turning on, so i unplug this 8 pin powering the CPU in the top left corner and then turn PC back on and it all starts but SOON as i plug this 8 pin back in the whole thing trips out.

The 8 pin power connector that plugs into the motherboard is different from the one that plugs into the GPU. If your PSU is modular, make sure you have both cables correct at both ends.

I got a single 6 pin cable which has an adapter onto which makes it an 8 pin which i was plugging into the CPU connector - it's black and yellow like the motherboard 24 pin one.

I got another single black and yellow cable but just 4 pin no adapter on which i wasn't using - guessing i need to buy an 4 pin to 8 pin adapter to use for my GPU?
 
I plugged the other 4 pin power connector I wasnt using into this and seems to be fine now. However still displaying no signal on both monitors and it keeps cutting out then rebooting so I reckon the CPU is getting too hot as the heatsink I got is too small.

4 pin which i plugged into the CPU slot in top left
24 pin plugged into the motherboard

UPDATE

---

I replaced the PSU with a Corsair CX600. Now everything is being powered with the correct pins & amount of pins.

All turns on fine but both monitors still staying 'No signal'...

Plus i bought & Installed a new heatsink.
