Black screen on boot afer new graphics card.

I upgraded from a GT 8800 to two GTX 660 connected through SLI. It boots perfectly fine but once it gets to the SLiM login screen all I see is black. I tried plugging my monitor into different ports thinking that it was configured to output to the wrong display but still nothing. ctrl + alt + f1 does not bring up the terminal either. How can I fix this?

Have you had a look at this? I've never used SLI so I don't really know anything..
Yeah, I just tried that after chrooting from a flash drive but it still does not work. I looked at my journal entries but all I see is some spam about AMD-Vi from a few days ago, however, I believe this is just from virtual box.

  • H9-1130 Won't boot after new graphics card install.

    Alright, here we go. 
    I recently bought an EVGA 750 superclocked for my PC. The first time I installed it, I got a black screen. Popped in the old GPU and checked the BIOS. Ended up updating it. 
    Now, here's the interesting part: I install the EVGA back into my computer, and it ends up getting stuck at the HP boot logo. I went to another thread on this site regarding pretty much the same question, and the people there recommended checking the PSU and the graphics card. Well, I brought my GPU to a friend to plug into his computer, and it booted up just fine. I did check my PSU aswell, and all seems to be fine there. So, yeah, any suggestions on how I can get this card to work on my mobo? 
     SPECS: 
    AMD FX-8120
    (old) GPU: AMD 7670

    Hi,
    I have no suggestions on how to get the EVGA GTX 750 to work in a HP PC that has a legacy version 7 bios (non-UEFI).
    I do have one suggestion: Contact EVGA and ask for a remendy other than replacing the motherboard or buying a new PC. Don't expect HP to provide a version 8 UEFI BIOS update for your PC.  HP didn't start producing UEFI BIOS consumer desktop PCs until the middle of October 2012.
    You might try Sapphire as they offer both NVIDIA and AMD graphics that are designated UEFI and those that are not designated UEFI.  You need a card that is non-UEFI designated.

  • Won't boot with new graphics card

    Hi. I have a Pavilion P7-1058uk with a Cleveland-GL8 motherboard and onboard graphics.
    I bought a new monitor which has 2560x1440 resolution, greather than the onboard graphics can cope with, so have tried to upgrade with a Gigabyte GT630 card.
    When I startup, I now get to the blue HP screen but no further. If I startup with F10 or ESC pressed, I get to a black screen instead. Either way, I am invited to press Esc to enter startup but pressing the key has no impact and the computer just hangs. There is a repeated cycle of very quiet clicks which sounds like the HDD drive trying to start then stopping
    If I remove the graphics card and connect the monitor back to the onboard graphics then all is well again (but restricted to 1920x1080 resolution).
    Perhaps stupidly I assumed it was an issue with the power supply (300W) and not enough residual oomph to run the HDD. But having upgraded that to 650W it makes no difference. I also tried downloading NVidia drivers but it won't let me install them because I can only get the computer to work without the graphics card, and Nvidia won't install because it can't detect the hardware.
    Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.

    OK thanks. This card doesnt require a six pin connector but it is interesting that your comment implies that those that do still take power from the motherboard but topped up with the six pin connector. As opposed to taking all power from the six pin connector and nothing from the motherboard. I am not making a statement that equates to your analogy. All cards plugged into a motherboard I/O internal slot are powered by the motherboards power distribution subsystem.  
    One last question - should I have uninstalled the graphics driver for the integrated graphics or is that unnecessary? I have read that the motherboard turns the integrated graphics off when it detects a dedicated card.  I have not done so and am a little wary of uninstalling the existing driver in case things still dont work and it gets tricky to revert back to where I am now.
    Andrew
    No. You won't need to uninstall the driver for the integrated graphics. The OS will only load the driver for the graphics card when one is installed.

  • P7-1235, black screen after adding a discrete graphic card

    Hello,
    I tried to install a discrete graphic card to my P7-1235. The card is AMD 7950, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131478
    The card was tested on another computer and could post without problems.
    I upgraded the PSU to 600w. and plug both 6pin connectors to GPU. After I push the power button, the computer is running but the screen remains black,  no video signal. I tried to connect the monitor to dvi on  7950 and integrated dvi but no luck. Anyone has any idea how to solve this?
    Thanks so much! 

    Hello,
    Issue might be related to Secure Boot in BIOS.
    Put your original card into the system, and follow the steps on the document link below:

    Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
    My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

  • IMAC 2007 has broken crackly sound after new graphics card

    My 2007 iMac recently had a black screen and has had a new graphics card installed by a local company. I've picked it up today but when I got the IMAC home the sound only seems to come out of the right speaker and is very broken and low, hardly audible, also the chime at start up was like this.
    Does anyone know why this could have happened and is there anything I can do without having to take it back in?

    Well one piece of advice I can offer is to always take a Mac (any Mac) to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or an Apple Store. If you took it somewhere that is not an AASP you never know the level of service you are getting. I would be willing to guess there is an AASP in your general area. If you don't know of one click https://locate.apple.com/lac/en/

  • Mac Pro intermediate black screen at boot after installing mountain lion

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro tower, but since installing Mountain Lion I now get a random black screen at boot. Unplugging the apple cinema 20' power supply for 15 minutes seems to clear the fault. Have had no such problems with other OS until Mountain Lion, seems OK when booting to Snow Lepoard on my other drive?
    Anyone have the same fault?

    Thanks for trying the help! I tried every version of start up, but with no screen it was no good..
    Finally solved the problem, it was the ATI HD 2600 XT graphics card that was dying a very slow death.
    Replaced it this morning with a GT120 Nvidia.
    Anyone with this card should Google it, as apple did a big recall on these..

  • Help with installing new graphics card

    Hi I have a 3 year old hpe575a (hp pavillion)
    Intel i7 2600, 8gb ram
    Orginally had a ati hd radeon  2gb (not sure what model)
    in it
    after 2 years the radeon finally melted ( always had overheating problems in the australian summer )
    so I bought a nvidia gtx630m which had the same connections and power requirements and connections as the radeon 
    I csnt seem to get it working, despite the card powering up, and loading the splash screen it doesnt go any further, I can get to the network boot screen or the hp splash screen but no further, and I cant find any bios updates for my mptherboard (pegatron) so do I need a new motherboard? The computer works 100% fine without the new graphics card 
    Should I get a new motherboard. Or graphics card? which would be cheaper? or is there someway to get the current system to work with the new graphics card? thanks -zac 

    Hi,
    The existing card is an "AMD Radeon HD6570 (2 GB)". I don't know how you can fit a Nvidia GTX630M to your machine because this card is for laptop:
         http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m/specifications
    Probably you are talking about the following card:
        http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
    The card should be able to use 300W PSU on your machine (no need new PSU). My suggestion:
    (a) Update BIOS to the latest one, please check, should be "Version7.15 Rev. A" the motherboard is Cleveland
         http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-101150-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    (b) Install driver for new card
    Hope this helps.

  • Need guidance on new graphics card connectivity.

    Hey,
    I want to upgrade my current graphics card "ATI Radeon 4800 Series" to a newer more capable graphics card mainly for gaming. (Black Ops is coming out tomorrow and I feel it's time for an update)
    My current PC specification is as follows:
    Harddrive: 500GB
    RAM: 4GB
    CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.80GHz
    Motherboard: GF 7050V-M7
    PSU: 650W
    Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 4800 Series
    Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 3
    I need your help to find me a new graphics card that it is compatible with my motherboard/other components at around £130!
    Thanks for your time!
    Hatton

    You need to re-read what I said... I said if he wanted to build a new computer based on a new motherboard, I did NOT say this would be a pop-in replacement for his existing motherboard
    There are several ASUS models, I picked the P6T SE since it had the right balance of features and price
    I have 6x2Gig ram sticks for 12Gig... if I was building today, now that prices are lower, I would start with 3x4Gig to leave room for adding 12Gig later
    I use the onboard sound and it works fine for my needs
    As well as an nVidia GTX285 (today, I would buy a GTX470) I have a Pinnacle Dv500 digitizing card, which I use via dual-boot with WinXP

    Hi Ken,
    Look aon the top back of the graphics card for a switch.  See the below image.
    You should have received a pamphlet in the box describing the use of the switch (legacy mode or UEFI mode).  If your PC has a version 8 HP BIOS then disable secure boot if set. If your PC is not at a version 8 BIOS level then the switch should be in legacy position.  The pamphlet should describe the use of the switch.

  • Blue to black screen at boot up.

    I'm running 10.6.8 Mac Pro and getting blue to black screen at boot up. I am only able to log in by safe mode only, please help...

    Do you get:
    Chime
    gray screen
    Dark Apple
    Spinner
    Spinner spins for the usual amount of time
    screen goes blue or black at the point where you would normally login?
    That is exactly when the graphics card is shifted to automatic. Although that also is the point when added kernel extensions have been loaded and are made active, users report this symptom often correlates with graphics card failure.
    Safe Mode does not use the driver or automatic mode, so being able to operate in Safe Mode adds credence to graphics card failure.

  • Familiar Story - tx2000 - lights and fan on, but black screen at boot up

    I've been reading around that there's a common problem with the 1000 series of tablets. After 1 1/2 years, the sucker gets a black screen at boot up, yet the lights are on.
    Well, almost a week to my tx2000's 1 1/2 year date (and now out of warranty), I tried to take my tablet out of hibernation. The screen was black yet the lights were on and I could hear the fan.
    I tried basic troubleshooting with the online tech, but to no avail. It doesn't work, and they tell me it'll cost about $400 for it to be picked up and repaired. Anybody got a viable solution, or do I just need to go ahead and start saving for a Mac?
    Thanks HP for reselling such faulty merchandise.
    http://www.mycheaplaptop.net/2009/03/never-buy-hp-laptop/

    So this most likely does not apply to the tx1000 problem, but I believe the tx2000 recent problem is not related.
    For those getting lights and fan on.. or perhaps on for a second or so but no boot screen or logo it maybe related to your video card driver.
    Sounds crazy right?  Well your video card driver controls how your computer goes into hibernation and sleep.  If the drivers are incorrect the system may not handle this process correctly when you try to reboot it.
    I'm not certain on how to get the system to boot up again, but I've done it quite a few times while trying to revive the machine.. pulled the battery.. the ram.. held the power button.. lots of cussing.. the solution seemed different each time, but eventually if you can get back into windows you'll find that either by not using hibernation/sleep or by loading the original video card drivers from the hp site, you'll avoid this problem again.
    This problem started occurring for me after microsoft made available a driver update on windows update this past summer..  then suddenly everyone started having issues at the exact same time.. I've seen it blamed on simultaneous heat issues around the world caused by exactly 1 year and 2 months of dust collection on every tx2000 laptop... however I'm quite certain it's the new video drivers in combination with hibernation/sleep.
    But don't take my word for it.  For more information on how video drivers can affect the boot process check this site: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-1046825.html

  • Black screen on boot /w four red LEDs on D-Bracket

    Whenever I go switch the power off on my PSU and turn it back on, and after pressing the power button on the front of the computer it doesn't post it acts as if I kept pressing the reset button.
    The D-braket shows 4 red leds (which means damaged/not installed processor).
    But if I hold the power button to turn if off, then I turn it back on it works flawlessly!
    Am I doing something wrong? I didn't have this problem before.
    Specs are below....
    BioHaz

    I did a Google search and found this below...
    This happens to be my exact same problem, it happens when you turn on the PSU switch then turn on the computer immediately after that. It seems like you just have to wait.
    Is this a common problem?
    Should I worry about this?
    Quote
    The old black screen on boot up with four red LEDs on the D-Bracket
    is a fairly common problem.
    So far I've only seen four fixes for the problem.
    1.  Defective motherboard (Although this is seldom the problem)
    2.  Power supply is defective, or you forgot to connect the four
    wire auxiliary power connecter to the motherboard.  The auxiliary power
    connecter must be connected for this motherboard to work.
    3.  Your reset switch is stuck.  Disconnect the reset switch from the
    motherboard, then try to boot up.
    4.  This one is weird.  It fixed my problem, however, based on the
    troubleshooting you've done, I don't hold out hope it will fix yours.
    For some strange reason, some MSI motherboards will not boot
    if you've just plugged them in.  Plug in the computer, make sure
    the power strip and the switch on the power supply are all in the
    "ON" position, then go grab a beer.  After waiting a couple of minutes,
    turn on the computer.
    I know it sounds weird.  But I have the same motherboard and CPU.
    If I turn on the power strip and attempt to boot my computer immediately,
    I get a black screen and four red LEDs.  If I turn on the power strip and
    wait a minute or two, the computer boots up every time and works
    perfectly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pavilion p6-2185ef - PC won't boot when upgrading graphic card

    Hello,
    I recently tried to upgrade my graphic card to a 760GTX (I also upgraded the power supply)
    When I try to boot my computer with the new graphic card (all powered up including those pci express slots), everything is going OK, until the boot get stuck to the screen where I can press escape to access the bios.
    And from there, I can't do anything. The PC won't boot any further, and I can't even access the BIOS when pressing escape (which usually works).
    Since I don't reach the OS booting part, I don't think this comes from windows.
    I tried to disable the PCI security in the BIOS, but then it seems that the displays is switch to the motherboard (even when I use the former graphic card (which still works fine)
    I tried to upgrade the BIOS, it changed nothing.
    I'm welcome to any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
