Need assistance with PCI-E and motherboard issues!
I purchased a new GPU (MSI Ventus XS GeForce GTX 1660 6GB GDDR5) that needs 8 PCIe slots, but my PSU only has 6. After installing the GPU and connecting the PCIe slot, it didn’t work. I upgraded to a Corsair TX750 power supply, but everything except the monitor is functional. The previous GPU isn’t showing up on screen. Could there have been a sudden power loss when switching GPUs? Please advise!
It shouldn't be necessary, though it might be possible. I would first restart your BIOS (the method varies by board, but you can usually remove the CMOS battery, unplug power and hold the power button for 30 seconds). If that fails, attempt using the onboard GPU if available. Make sure all cables are securely connected.
Here are some simple clarifications:
Your display is active, but it isn’t picking up the signal.
Have you checked if it’s connected to your built-in graphics card?
I can't provide the precise details since I'd need to take out my CPU and lack thermal paste. However, I can confirm it's an Intel i5 3.0 processor.
