New Build. Graphics Card not working

DarkXavier · 24 Sep 2011 at 14:51

Hi all.

Built my first pc today. Hasn't been as difficult as I expected, just sorting the mess of wires at the moment.

I bought a GTX 560 Ti, tried it in the new pc, no display. Tried the onboard graphics, works fine. Tried the 560 in my old system, no display and 1 long beep and 3 short ones. Tried my old 8800GT in my new system, works fine.

Any ideas, or is the card dead?

Thanks

Richard

Sounds like the card is dead, or maybe not getting enough power. What PSU are you using?

Yeah check PSU first, if it's not that it's a borked card.

Could just be that the PSU is a bit out dated and not enough power is getting to it, or the card it dead.

With the PSU, has it got a 6 pin adapter on it already that you use to connect it to the GPU or are you using 2 molex > 6 pin adapter, because they are no good on up to date cards!

Also @ subbytna: Love that case you have. Pretty as hell!

Yep thats your graphics card, tip for the future and not being a knob.. but if you google literally how it sounds..

"1 long, 3 short beeps" you normally find the relating code :>

not that this bits helpful but i did have a page with all the codes on but i lost it

I just googled it lol, and ToejaMz0r is right, your GPU is fried dude. Sorry!

Assuming both PSU connectors are in it does seem a DOA card, if bought from OCUK stick a note in the customer section.
