Trying to install my 7970 and getting no signal, Help!!

try booting in safe mode and use driversweeper to fully uninstall nvidia drivers,i know some get left behind sometimes and screw up ati install,oh and makesure your using latest mb bios as it might have included 7k series cards
 
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
 
I wonder if your display has reverted to the onboard/on-chip graphics (if there's a port on the board).

Do you hear the POST beep?

MSI P67

Check revision as there are a couple

I doubt very much the bios will help, If there is no post screens displayed I think you are looking at a dead card. Your best bet is to try the card in another machine.

The 7970 has worked in the second slot?

Thats great news.

AFAIK your mother board has x2 PCI-Ex16 slots so you will be fine running it in the second slot as it will get full x16 bandwidth.

May want to make sure the first slot is clear of dust etc and is the card touching anything when plugged in to it, that could be causing a short.

Im installing the drivers now, as it is working in the second pci e slot, will this slow down performance, it being in that slot?

Yes I think it might as the second slot is only 8x I think.

Edit someone already pointed out it has a 16 so you will be fine.
 
That's correct.

The 7970 is PCI-E 3.0, long story short put that in a 2.0 PCI-Ex16 slot and it runs at x8.

Do not panic tho this is fine :) do a little googling on the subject!

Your main board gpu slot one has probably gotten used to having the nvidia card in it, physically I mean, you could fix this by adjusting the metal contacts slightly (EDIT: On the main board, NOT the gpu), if after a good clean/air blow it still is not accepting the 7970.

But tbh, we are playing with a lot of money here, it's working, close the case and enjoy ;)
