Problem with Radeon 6770 upgrade

[PaulMTC]

Hi,

I have bought an XTX Radeon 6770 as an upgrade for my current pc.

I installed it but there is no signal going to the monitor.

When i put my old card back in (radeon 4670) everything works fine.

Has anyone got any ideas of what could be wrong?

i have plugged in the 6 pin power connector also so it's not that.

My spec is:

• 
  motherboard: MSI P31 Neo2-FR Intel P31 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 (MB-095-MS) ..... [ms-7392]

• 
  processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 Socket 775 2.2GHz 800FSB

• 
  psu: ocz 500w

Thanks.

Paul.

Yep I was looking forward to the upgrade as it should make a big improvement.

I tried the other display output on the card and a 4 colour "self check" thing comes up and moves about the screen.

I'll be annoyed if its the card as its ready a replacement one for a previous faulty one I got from ********!

It's actually a 500w psu not a 550w - should that make a difference?

Cheers,

Paul.

The card might be too new for that board. 5xxx series cards dont post on my asus a8r-mvp either (s939) Might be worth checking if a bios update is available for your board if you get to know the card it self is ok.

That's a great idea - i will check for bios update.

Cheers,

Paul.

Just checked on AMD website, does your psu meet this requirement.....

450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended

the psu meets this requirement - its a ocz 500w with a 6-pin pci-e connector.

also - i checked the bios and it's up to date. the "intel inf" driver for the motherboard was not up to date however - should that make a difference?

i'll try the card in another newer model computer. if it works - does that point to my motherboard not supporting it?

cheers,

paul.
