I originally had a geforce card, and have bought a new ati card.

I obviously tried to remove the drivers in control panel and deleted all there was in the device manager.

I currently have my nvidia card in now because i cant get a signal at all on the Ati card.

Can anyone help me?

When the ati card is in, it powers up fine, fans spinning etc as normal, just getting no signal :/.
 
Yes im sure that the connectors are all the way in, and no i cannot even see the boot screen. Just says no signal. I am on my geforce card now with the same hdmi cable and same monitor, so the cable and monitor work fine.
 
I have a ocz Zs series 650w.

It's powering up fine, a samsung 23 inch monitor, like I say the nvidia card is working fine.

I've tried a CMOS reset that hasn't helped.

Thanks for any help
 
I had a 570, and ive just put the 570 back in again, and everythings fine.

Could it be a faulty card, I think it does boot, cus the system stays running, i just cannot get a picture :/
 
No I cannot get into the bios because it has no signal at all.

Where would I go bout getting the latest bios for the stated board?

Thanks for all the help
 
Haven't done the heaven benchmark yet because I haven't been home since, I take it heaven only tests the gpu? So that I should have very similar results to gibbo? It was stable at max clocks as I had a quick run on 3d Mark 11.

I've tried reseating it several times, I really just don't understand why the nvidia cars runs perfectly fine in that slot but the ati card won't even show a picture :/
 
I get you now lol, no1 ever had this problem before? I'm pretty sure that I can't get the ati card In anymore, it clicks in perfectly and screws into the tower in place. I'm baffled.

All is working now.

Tried it in the 1st slot today and for some reason it worked, i think it was something to do with the Nvidia card, because when i got to windows it said no drivers for the card were installed, althought i already had the newest ones installed when the card was in the second slot.

Anyway, ive re installed the drivers and the card is running at x16 :D :D

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Also it does run at max clocks in ccc in games and in benches stable, just slid them all to max and everythings fine.

Im a happy chappy.
