Please help!!! New graphics card is in but windows won't boot up!!!

KarolW92 · 14 Aug 2012 at 12:12

I received my new card today, uninstalled all the drivers for my radeon, unplugged everything. I put the new card in and I get a message : please select boot device or boot media device! I resorted to taking out the CMOS battery and going to put it in in few minutes to see if it worked

Yes my ssd which windows is on is priority boot device, I even tried a force boot from the bios but I'm getting the same problem. I'm waiting another few minutes and CMOS is going back in.

If I perform a clean boot wouldn't that erase all of my files??? I don't really want to loose everything, at the end of the day I'm only swapping out a gpu...

I can't even get into bios now. I replaced CMOS now, I get a single beep when I boot up everything spins but now I don't even get signal fron the in and out mobo backplate or both cards....fml

No everything is in place like I said... Just got off the phone with over lockers and they hang up on me... Very unprofessional service

I have an 850w psu, I tried both of the cards, even used the in and out port on the back of the mobo itself I'm getting no signal on both of my tv and monitor...that's started happening after I took the CMOS out

There are switches epu and tpu, nothing else.... How could I damage the bios by removing a gpu and putting a new one in???? I'm sorry it's either me or my lack of pc knowledge but I'm not finding anything usefull

Yeh I left for about a minute, pressed the button held it for about 10 seconds then took it out

KarolW92 · 14 Aug 2012 at 14:06

I've stripped it all down, giving it half hour for CMOS and puttin it back together

KarolW92 · 14 Aug 2012 at 14:15

There's no pins on my CMOS mate just a 10p coin like battery that pops out

KarolW92 · 14 Aug 2012 at 15:10

Nope haven't got that at ll. just a battery in the middle that is supposed to be CMOS

KarolW92 · 14 Aug 2012 at 15:24

I have found a 3 pin connector and above it there's unfit bios written... Would that be it?

KarolW92 · 14 Aug 2012 at 15:25

I am sorry but I was just tidying this thing up and noticed it... It's located on the left bottom corner and to the right of it there's a power button for the mobo.
