I thought u cnt use a hover nozzle cause it will heat up the board?

It only sucks air, it's not going to heat the board. You aren't confusing a hoover (vacuum cleaner) with a hair dryer are you? just suck as much dust out of the slot as you can.

would be good if you had another gpu to test with,ive seen issues where the switch blows that auto detects when a gpu is installed,and an rma is needed

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 18:20

I do have to graphics card the gts 450 and a gtx 570 BT the psu isn't powerful to power the gtx 570.

wazza300 · 6 May 2014 at 18:21

have you tried the 570 though? you only need to test it for a few minutes

its either a bios compatibility issue or mb fault

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 18:23

The 570 doesn't display either and the 570 is my graphics card.

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 18:24

When the pc boots with the graphics card the tv says not supported

wazza300 · 6 May 2014 at 18:24

best to rma the board and take it from there

EDIT: what tv? and tried with a monitor? some TV's have a dvi port besides hdmi

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 18:25

Ok I'll order a replacent motherboard then rma it ok

Try with a monitor or another TV, it sounds like the TV doesn't like the resolution that the graphics card is outputting.

Mode not supported is different to no signal detected.

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 19:00

I cnt get the hdmi working on either card aswell bizzare

mmj_uk · 6 May 2014 at 19:25

If the TV is saying "Not supported" then it means that it is receiving a signal but it just doesn't like it, I would test with another TV or monitor.

It could be due to the weird BIOS screen resolutions they use or maybe the graphics card is faulty and is outputting a gibberish signal.

Hello again ppl I have a update with this system after spending 4 hours with the pc tnite, I took my monitor up to the system to test the tv and surprise the graphics card fires up on my monitor no problem.

Russell2014 · 8 May 2014 at 01:47

So I tried it bk in the system again on the tv and no display, but I have noticed that both cards use extra power pci e connectors, but I tried a Geforce gt210 and that card works straight away a display and eveything hmm bizzare.

Russell2014 · 8 May 2014 at 01:48

So I think the 500wats cosair psu is faulty?

Flying Gribble · 8 May 2014 at 13:56

Sounds more like your TV is at fault or not able to display the resolution output by the graphics card. If the PC and graphics card worked with your monitor, then what's in the machine is ok - including the psu.

Russell2014 · 8 May 2014 at 23:27

But the PC in question does display fine with the Geforce gt210 it does not need extra power from the psu but the other cards i treid do need extra power from the psu, it does not make sense?

mmj_uk · 8 May 2014 at 23:47

Your TV doesn't like the signal being output by that particular GPU, if it was your PSU then why does your monitor work with it?

Russell2014 · 8 May 2014 at 23:52

Yeah but my monitor is a new 24 inch Samsung LCD monitor the tv is a old flat screen tv, would be better to get another motherboard, like a Asus board

mmj_uk · 8 May 2014 at 23:58

How is a motherboard going to help? the problem seems to be between the graphics card and the TV. Your best bet would be try to find a graphics card that works with your TV? or upgrade your TV?
