Hey this probably isn't the place for this qestion but.........so today I installed a new graphics card in my Dell it worked fine the first time and now it won't post even no signal to monitor, fans spinning in pal components please help!

Check that your power supply is capable of pumping out the nessary power

[G+_J schrofe]

What model dell? What is the wattage of the power supply? What video card? Many dell power supplies don't have power to handle a good video card and will burn out quickly.

[G+_Riley Plays]

Yes it is capable

[G+_Riley Plays]

Powercolor Radeon r7 370 and a 500 watt power supply I added

[G+_Juscelino Acevedo]

Is there an on-board video card? Is it possible that it reverted to it somehow? If so, I would plug the monitor into the on-board and make any configuration changes.

[G+_Golden Retriever]

Good point juscelino I've been bitten by that bug, check your bios settings and see if you can disable any on board video if it has it.

[G+_J schrofe]

Are you getting any type of POST code, either lights or beeps? I would check to see if the power supply is still good.

[G+_Riley Plays]

No sound no output no nothing other than fan spin

 

Tested power supply it works also it is brand new

[G+_Riley Plays]

Tod Sage I can't even get to bios

[G+_Juscelino Acevedo]

It sounds like your motherboard got fried. Only real way to find out is to put the system back to how it was prior to these upgrades and seeing what happens.

[G+_Riley Plays]

Juscelino Acevedo Ya I'm beginning to fear that happened: ( will newegg cover that?

[G+_Riley Plays]

It works sometimes on default setup....but it makes me restart and connect the hdmi to the video card

[G+_Riley Plays]

And if I take the video card out the same thing happens

[G+_Juscelino Acevedo]

Riley Kaufman can you please clarify what you mean by "It works sometimes on default setup....but it makes me restart and connect the hdmi to the video card"?

 

If you are able to get something to work, then your motherboard is not fried, and maybe we can work through this.

[G+_Riley Plays]

It will pop up with a picture showing me how to connect to the video card would you like a pic?

[G+_Juscelino Acevedo]

Yes, please.

[G+_Riley Plays]

Ok let me see if it will do it again

[G+_Juscelino Acevedo]

I was going to tell you anyways that if you are willing to spend the time, you should probably start re-seating all different components, one at a time, until you (hopefully) see a change. The ones that I can think of that would affect this are memory, CPU, and any PCI cards. Also, if you do have an on-board video card, stay connected to that one, opposed to any installed one.

[G+_Riley Plays]

Ya now I can't even get onboard graphics to work

[G+_Riley Plays]

Is it the video cards fault. ....being that I can send my pc in to get it diagnosed professionaly?under warranty

[G+_Juscelino Acevedo]

Unfortunately, that is impossible for me to answer remotely. However, it does seem that way. Keep in mind that you also installed a new power supply and I don't know how that may be affecting the situation.

[G+_Riley Plays]

Ok it's all from the same seller (newegg) so I will give them a call if I can

[G+_Riley Plays]

I just called and and they gave me a number to power color...but the and guy said sounds like a gpu problem

[G+_Golden Retriever]

Remove everything from the case, populate the ram, keyboard, mouse and power supply on a table, can you access bios? If yes power down add your hard disk drive, does it now boot? If yes power off an add another component so on and so forth.

If everything works outside the case but not in the case then your main board is shorting out on the case.

 

One warning never seat a card on a running main board if the back of the board shorts while running it's likely to brick.
