Installed new GPU and no display.

Posted by solid__sithcode1@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 32 comments

Hello, I recently bought a Galax 2060 Plus GPU and when I installed it, there was no display on the GPU but the display works on the iGPU. When I changed the BIOS settings to display from PCIe 1, both iGPU and 2060 won't show display. Display only comes out on the iGPU when I take the 2060 out.

Specs are as follows: CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G RAM: T-Create Classic 10L 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz Motherboard: Gigabyte B450m DS3H V2 Power supply: FSP Hydro K 600 watts 80+ Bronze BIOS version: F61

Thank you.

Update: thank you everyone who replied. I brought my PC to the shop and saw they were using a different HDMI cable. When I went back home, I used my old HDMI cable and didn't give me display. I switched HDMI cables and it worked.

So here's what you need to do.

Turn PC off, switch psu off and remove the cable. Uninstall the GPU, remove cmos battery and press hold power button for atleast 40 seconds. After that wait another 7 mins before putting back cmos battery. Put everything back and attempt boot.

THIS!

This should be printed and put it inside every GPU box as instructions.

Just wanna tag onto everyone else, I just upgraded my GPU and my monitors wouldn’t turn on unless I restarted my pc after already powering it up for the first time of the day.

Tried this trick from OP, worked like a charm. No problems since.

Sounds stupid, this happened to me before. Have you tried plugging the cables into each of the outputs on your 2060 because that’s what happened with my 2060 when I bought mine

[-]

I only have 1 HDMI output on my 2060.

You will have to use one hdmi and one display port then. You might need to purchase a display port or a dvi cable.

I had this problem with a 1030 I brought to upgrade an old build, on the first boot the working port was the dvi one, and I had only VGA or hdmi cables.

It was fun looking for a dvi cable to install it.

FunKaleidoskope@reddit

How did you fix that?

[-]

Cutlerms@reddit

This so helped me, just did a GTX 1070 and found that only the DVI worked until i installed the drivers.

[-]

Skemberdo@reddit

So all the ports worked once the driver was updated?

[-]

Cutlerms@reddit

Yup. Plugged in to DVI via a HDMI to DVI cable. It was working, did a full clean install of the driver's and then the HDMI and DiplayPort ports worked.

FrozenLogger@reddit

Is it a high speed HDMI cable? They are not all the same.

Also HDMI is anti-consumer with built in DRM nonsense. You need to get a different cable and try the display port to be sure.

Edit: if you are going to downvote you might as well say why. At least one person pointed out that display ports also use hdcp, I had forgot.

I have had several devices in the shop where the hdmi cable would not pair due to speed or length.

This sub is one of the most frustrating ones to comment in. I see so much bad information voted up, and good information voted down.

Make sure drivers are installed and updated

[-]

solid__sithcode1@reddit (OP)

Yeah I updated to latest drivers but still doesn't show display.

Open_Lettuce882@reddit

How did u updated without having display

[-]

solid__sithcode1@reddit (OP)

In hindsight:

The problem I had was using the wrong HDMI. At that point when I commented 2 yrs ago, I didn't know that.

When I said I updated my drivers, I meant:

I had no drivers so the display was working. The only there would be no display is if I update my drivers. So whenever I updated my drivers, the no display problem would occur. So I went into safe mode and deleted the new drivers.

I hope this answers your question.
