PC won't boot after new gfx card purchase

[SymTax]

Recently bought myself an https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-052-HS

It arrived today, and I assumed I knew what I was doing. I've uninstalled the catalyst driver thing ( i think ), although I didn't do that at first.

I swapped the cards over, and plugged everything back in. New card only has 1 6 pin connector slot, old one has 2, so I was a little thrown at first.

Everything seemed fine, right up until i tried to run the pc. It fails to boot. Fans spin, lights come on, but then nothing.

My pc normally does a couple of beeps when booting, but with the new card it, nothing.

I've swapped them back around a couple of times, and my old card (an HD 5850) works fine everytime.

Please help. There's probably a glaringly obvious solution, but I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

Thanks in advance.

have a look here for the latest bios file and instructions on how to do it.

if you have another pc then try the card in that one first.

Alright, I'll give it a go.

You sure this is what could/would be causing the booting issues?

It's quite possible.

i have heard of a few issues peeps are having with some new cards and flashing to the latest bios has fixed the issue most times.

If it is the Gigabyte D3H (or similar), lots of issues with newer cards.

I did as suggested, and it worked a treat. I appreciate all the help, thank you
