Hey all,
Not long ago I posted about an RMA replacement for my 470 soc from gigabyte and got great help! But I have had serious issues with the gtx 480 I received as a swap.
Was helping I could get some more of your great help
Basically I get no video output at all.. I can't even reach bios.
My whole system starts up fine and the card fans spin but no video output - nothing.
My system is pretty dated now but I don't think it should have issues with this card?
I run:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 at 3ghz
Asus P5N-D nvidia 750i chipset
Corsair 650w PSU
3gb Geil black dragon 800mhz
32bit XP SP3
I've tried everything and the card has even gone back to gigabyte to check its not a dodgy RMA - it worked fine for them.
I unistalled any drivers i could find prior to installation.
I have tested the monitor with an older card (9800gtx+) - the monitor is working.
I have reinstalled my older card several times - all other components are working (i think?).
I have a 650w Corsair PSU with two 8pin Pci-e connectors (surely enough for a gtx480 with one 8pin and one 6pin?)
I have reset the CMOS (Removed battery and reset jumper)
I have tried each output separately.
I have tried both Pci-e 16x Slots.
Interestingly or not the 470 soc worked fine minus the temp issue I RMAd it for.
If there's any more info I can provide let me know
Can anyone work this out??
Thank you!
