Cant get HIS Radeon HD 5870 to work

I have installed the drivers, as I can run windows in 1920x1080 resoloution.
Everything works fine only apart from when one try to start games.
"application errror" is what I get.

I also get an "application error" when I try to configure 3D settings in the ATI catalyst center and video playback.

Install DirectX9.0 from MS site
Download details: DirectX Redist (February 2010)
Most games still use DirectX9.0

What if any cable is connected to any of the onboard ports? If there are any disconnect them.

Also if this is your monitor,

Newegg.com - SAMSUNG P2450H Rose Black 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 70000:1(1000:1) - LCD Monitors

then you shouldn't have had to buy a HDMI cable, as from looking at that it comes with both a DVI and VGA cable.

What happens if you remove the card and use the on-board graphics?

I tried that now, and it is the onboard graphics who is running both in games and i windows, so the graphic card isnt operational at all

The card doesnt have a DVI or VGA port, but a HDMI, and two others who look soemwhat similar to DVI but not quite.

There also wasnt any cables connected to any of the other ports when I tried to boot without the internal graphic mode


Another wierd thing was when I tried to press the graphic card further down in its socket and turned on the computer, the fan ran quiter but then even if I ran it in Internal graphic mode I couldnt get any image on the screen at all so I had to erase RTC RAM several times to get back the image

This your card,

Newegg.com - HIS H587F1GDG Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

if so it does have 2 DVI ports, as well as a HDMI port and a displayport,



the two long ports beside each other are the DVI ports.

Also did you remember to connect the two 2x6 pin power connectors on the card to the power supply?

I finally got it to work!

Thanks to everyone who helped me out on tis thread, you guys are great!

Special thanks to stormy13 who never gave up on me




PS: The soloution was as simple as they often are. The Graphic card wasnt pushed firmly enough down in the PCI express slot. That was all

You're welcome.

And now that you have the card working, if you ever decide to run more than two monitors you can just enable the onboard video and the Surround View option (as long as the card is also from ATI, and which works very well).
