    New MSI R7 370 Not showing on Monitor


    I just recently bought a new R7 370 from MSI to replace my old AMD 6500 Series card. I bought the card because I've been getting into gaming recently. I installed the card, made sure it fit in place then proceeded to try and start my computer. When I try to start it up, it doesn't display anything on my monitor. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)

    Hello tkendall66 and welcome to 7forums! :)

    What kind of cable do you have connecting the card to the monitor? Does the monitor say anything at all?

    Cheers, Boris :)

    I tried with a DVI-I and a HDMI and neither showed anything on the monitor

    Okay, are you sure that your power supply is adequately suited for the power hungry card you've got?

    On a calculator it says I should only need 540w and yes all fans spin, I have it plugged into a PCi 2.0

    Okay you might need to update the BIOS however one more thing do you hear any beeps or do you see the POST/splash screen?

    If none of the above, go here and download the BIOS file:
    https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5...Desk_Download/

    If you are unfamiliar on how to do the update there is information on how to use the AMI FLASH DOS Utility, click the link called BIOS-Utilities.

    Cheers, Boris :)

    Have you got the 6-pin power supply connector plugged in to the video card?
