Computer/soundcard boot problems after upgrading graphicscard GTX 960
I have 2 problems after upgrading Gtx 560 150W to MSI GTX 960 2gb 120 W
- computer starts slower and a weird screen, cant enter BIOS
- computer does not recognize pci soundcard (ASUS XONAR DX), not listed in device manager, also not under unidentified devices.
I have been looking for solutions the whole week and I thought i should post a thread.
what I have tried:
- reinstalling windows
- windows recovery, all options.
- check if everything is properly connected.
- trying to get in bios with a PS2 keyboard
- memory remove and reinstall
- removing soundcard and reinstall
- looking for drivers --> asks me to connect audio card
- connect the old graphics card --> it solved the boot problem, the computer started fast again with the bios screen (picture 1) only lasting about 3 sec. I could enter bios again and I resetted bios. however the soundcard is still not showning up. after installing the gtx 960 again same problem with booting.
I didnt try to reset CMOS because i could enter bios when i connected with the 560 graphics card.
I dont want to accidently brick my computer.
I only have one accessible pci slot for the soundcard so i cant switch to other pci port.
the pictures when booting with gtx 960 installed
picture 1 lasts about 2-3 minutes with about 5 beeps with a lot of time between them.

when I am in windows the graphics card works just fine.
I think these 2 problems are related. and if the boot problem is solved the soundcard might be solved 2.
I am looking forward for ur suggestions, thanks in advance.
