Nothing shows on screen with a GeForce GTX 560
Nothing shows on screen with a GeForce GTX 560
(OP)
My specs:
Motherboard: ASUS M4A78-E
CPU: AMD Phenom 2 X3 710
PS: Cooler Master extreme Plus 500w, 30amps
RAM: 7Gb

PDF: http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/02g-p3-1469.pdf



As you can see the video card has 2 sockets, but the connector EVGA sent me has 1 of that type, which it splits on 2 of the type you can see in the photo.
So I plugged the corresponding 2 wires from the power supply, then the other 1 connector/plug on the other side to 1 of the 2 sockets in the video card.
Why would it not be displaying a thing on the screen?
Thanks in advance guys :)

I'll have to wait 'till I'm home to give you a star - at work this is just not possible :(

If you don't have an unused one then you'll need another y connector.

I'll check every single connector again just in case...

Unfortunately still nothing showed on the screen :(
I tried both molex connectors & both monitor connectors just in case, aside of thoroughly checking connections. The video-card's fan was spinning, and that message showing on the monitor' screen while the computer is off does go away when I turn it on. Confirming that there's a monitor connected. But that's about it :(

Other than that, I agree with rclarke, installing the video card in another computer to make sure it works is the next step. No sense in trouble shooting if the card is faulty.

It was the outdated BIOS!
It's all good now!
