I have no ideas left on fixing this. I’m setting up a PC for my cousin—current setup is an i3 2100, upgrade target is i7 2600k and GTX 1650. I’ve checked that CPU and motherboard are fine; removing the GPU works perfectly and boots Windows smoothly. Adding it causes a black screen and error display. I’ve tested it on my main system, but I’m stuck and even resetting the CMOS didn’t help.
You've already started troubleshooting. When the GPU was installed, where did you plug in the HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort cable? Was it still attached to the motherboard or directly to the GPU? Also verify the BIOS settings—ensure display options are set to auto, dual, or dedicated GPU as primary. Check if your motherboard supports those modes; they may vary. Remember not to disable integrated graphics unless necessary. If needed, consider updating the BIOS to the latest version.
It's an older motherboard, and I'm having trouble with the BIOS settings. I've already tried updating it, but it keeps failing. I connected the monitor to the GPU, so I'm considering updating the BIOS again. I'll let you know if that works out. I've also swapped in different RAM sticks, and the old GPU (GTX 770) was functioning well before. The only other card I need to check is an RTX 2060 in my main PC—I don't want to risk damaging it.
Just to clarify, did you change the CPU and added a GPU? Also, what PCIe version does your motherboard support? The main issue might be the old motherboard itself, especially if it was mishandled or not properly protected.
Hello yes, I've attempted the fundamental troubleshooting steps with correct handling. I also confirmed that all components function independently from one another, which seems unusual. However, I did test an RTX 2060 and it worked fine. My current idea is that the PCIe slot isn't delivering the required 75 watts for the GTX 1650.
Hello, sorry for the delay. I checked all ports and confirmed each component functions independently. I’ve tested every possible setting, and my idea is the PCIe slot isn’t delivering sufficient power for the GTX 1650—since with the RTX 2060 it worked perfectly.
