The computer halts functioning after installing the GPU.
You've recently added your GPU to the system and noticed some issues. The computer starts up but doesn't detect the GPU via HDMI or the motherboard's HDMI port. Removing the GPU restores the motherboard's HDMI functionality. It seems you're expecting an AMD driver, but the setup on their website suggests the GPU must be installed first to recognize it and install drivers. Currently, the monitor won't turn on with the GPU in, even though it needs to be active for driver installation. Anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?
You're checking a few things: 1) You're connecting power to the GPU, since it won't start otherwise; 2) You're sure the GPU is functioning properly. Also, there might be a BIOS option that lets you keep using the built-in graphics while a DGPU is connected, and you're wondering if you can still run smoothly with both.
Absolutely confirmed all connections are secure.
The fans seem to be functioning, though I’m not sure what “working” really means.
I haven’t attempted it yet and don’t know the best way to proceed.
Upload an image of the setup featuring the GPU, displaying all connections. Ensure it uses a 6+2 power cord instead of a 4+4 one—they’re quite different.
It seems the feature isn't listed in the BIOS menu, but I'm still trying to locate it.
