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 :/.
 
Helps if you tell us what port you are using on the ATI to get no signal ;) and what display you are using and some other specs of your system. Eg CPU, motherboard and PSU you are using watts and brand/model number.

Most of us on the forums can't mind read ;) and also what Nvidia card do you currently have that is working with your system correctly.

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
 
If it's not posting anything in the bios startup it's not the drivers.

Try removing the card and checking all the connections and Re-set your bios using the clear cmos.

What Nvidia Gpu did you have ?

Edit - Seems you have tried that already..
 
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 :/
 
If you are getting no output what so ever It's not drivers.

You could try a reset rather than a restart so power isn't interrupted.

Take the card out, reseat it or plug it into another PCI-E port.

Try it in another system if you can.

Could be dead, I'd be a little gutted if that happened to me!
 
If another gpu is running fine then it sounds like a faulty card. The PSU is powering a 570 so doubtfull it's that tbh...

I would get the card tried in a different pc to confirm it's faulty before sending it back.
 
sorry but you never mentioned what mb you have? some only support nvidia or ati cards so im assuming your mb supports both cards? try mb bios update first to the latest one,you might need to use onboard igpu if you have it and boot into safe mode and uninstall all your nvidia drivers then boot back with 7k series card installed and install drivers ect
