inpput signal out of range???

[Quango-uk]

got a new graphics card 7970 to replace my 6870 but when i install it i get input signal not valid

i once managed to get into windows and install th driver for it but when i restarted the pc
it just keeps looping the input valid message

tried pressing f8 for safe mode but its not having it

any ideas ?

i can get into the bios if i do a cmos reset

cant see no vga pcie optons though

no using the 7970

stuck my 6870 in and its boots into windows

dont understand, i set it to a low res so it would boot with the 7970

i have a zotac h55itx-a-e 1156 mini itx

No cant test it, only have a laptop

weird how it wont boot into windows safe mode

I notice on the splash screen and in the bios that there's weird red lines going across the screen

the card was a b grade, but I assumed that the card had been fully tested by ocuk
Maybe its a bad card then.
