    Installed new video card now no boot and no beeps


    I've been building and upgrading PCs for a while and never had this happen before. Any help would be great!

    I'm running on an Intel DP55WB motherboard with a PCIe 2.0 x16

    I pulled the old Radeon 4600 series video card and put in a XFX Radeon HD 6770. When I try to boot it up, the lights and fans come on, but I get no signal to the monitor, no beeps, and the pc doesn't boot.

    It had a thermaltake 600 AP power supply in it (which should be more than enough) but I put in an Antec 750w high current gamer supply in and same no boot. I then thought there might be a problem with the slot on the board so I swapped the old card back in the same slot and it booted right up. At this point all I can think is that the card is bad out of the box, any thoughts before I have to go deal with RMA?

    Sounds like a bad card, but can you check it in another PC?

    Just to be sure, you have power to all the connections on the new card, right? :)

    Yep, have it all connected right. Can't try it in another pc, none available at the moment, and getting a PC to check it with is just as much trouble as taking the card back for a new one. Guess I'll swap it tomorrow.

    It sounds like you did all the right things. My experience with XFX has been very good, but I guess there's always that one. Good luck with the new one. :)
