New Video Cards Don't Work

Hello;
I have a h9-1150t on Win7, came with a 550 graphics card.
I want to run 3 monitors at 2550x1440.
Tried several cards; a 640 worked instantly but the 3rd monitor was low rez on a HDMI cable.
Got a Radeon R9 270 and a MSI 660 card on the bench; neither works, black screen w/o cursor.
The extra 4-pin cable was attached.
I have a 600-watt psu.
So is this a UEFI issue? Old mobo issue? Ideas? Thanks!!

Hi,
Are you running the latest posted BIOS for your PC? It's version 7.15.
The AMD R9 270 may not be compatible with your PC depending on the make and model. Some models would require a HP version 8 BIOS.
THE MSI NVIDIA 660 might be faulty or it has been flashed with a video BIOS that would require a HP version 8 BIOS.
The below listed Sapphire graphics cards are equipped to function with UEFI or legacy BIOS PCs.

Desktop frozen on startup after installing new video card. Please help!

Recently we upgraded my computers graphics card to a Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 and we have also upgraded the power supply to an EX2 525W power supply. When we plug the PCIE into the video card and enable the slot the screen goes to the standard startup screen and says press escape for startup menu but then freezes there. We have tried updating the BIOS and we have made sure that all the connections were secure. If we try having the video card plugged in and run the onboard graphics the computer will beep several times and there will be no screen output.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated on this!

I understand a new video card isn't working as expected.
What is the product number and model of the PC? The following document details how to find this information should you need it.

New video card for HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t

Hi, I'm starting to get some screen artifacts sporadically, Ithink my video card is starting to go bad. i want to get a new one, but I am not sure what will fit. My computer HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-860 quad-core processor [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audio
No TV Tuner
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
I see by some other questions here several video cards suggested, but those replies were a few years old and those video cards are no longer available.
So, any suggestions on newer video cards under $200 that will pretty much fit and work as easily as possible? Thanks!
This question was solved.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have another monitor to try, but the artifacts seem to sometimes move along with the mouse cursor. Sometimes I can scrill the artifacts away, other times the screen freezes.
I do have room for a double width card, but I was looking at the XFX R7 250E 800MHz 1GB DDR5 DP HDMI DVI Graphics Card, which seems to be a newer model of the XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 . Both are single wide and don't need an extra power connection.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

MS-6714 trying to install new video card

Well, I have done everything I can think of short of sledgehammering my computer into oblivion. Just bought this comp it is a 2.8 celeron using the 6714. Thought I could just stick a new video card in. It recogzines the video card, but will not use it. Even when I disable the on board through the device manager. It just uses generic vga drivers. Any clue how I can get this card to be used?

Hi,
Which 6714 are you using???
Check link:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/search/ser/SerConProRes.php?keyword=6714&kind=1
Also,
1)have you disabled the ONBOARD graphics in the BIOS???
2)which video card you trying to install and which version of drivers?
3)what PSU do you have and model number?
Every single piece of info you give, shortens the answer/solution time...

Msi r6450 video card won't work

just received a new video card and for whatever reason, my pc won't see it. it's the msi r6450 md1gd3 card.
I've got an older gateway desktop with 1pci express slot.
as near as I can tell, the mb is a c51pvgm. it's a model 5220 gateway machine using an amd athlon x2 chip 3800+. it has nvidea onboard 6150le processor. using winxp sp2.
bios is set to recognize the pciexpress slot first. fan comes on within the card but it is not being recognized in the device manager.
thoughts?
Thanks

We can't support Gateway machines but just MSI stuff. Make sure it is not PCI-E 1.x as a six series Radeon and later PCI-E 2.1 and above card wouldn't work then. To be sure the vga is working test it in another machine

I am also suffering from the same problem. I have purchased a new video card and when installed the system is continually powering up then off. I have also replaced the power supply with a new 600W unit but still the same. I have checked that I have the latest driver and bios. Any help would be great.

Add a New Video Card to K7N2G

I've added a new video card to my K7N2G, an ATI Radeon 9700 and it's working, but there seems to be lag when I'm moving between my applications. Do I need to disable my onboard card? If so How do I do it, does anybody know?

Thanks Wonkanoby !!!!
Moved from slot 1 to 2, IRQ changed to 16.:D Happy Days :D are here again. I've been agonizing over this for a few days now. While in my IRQ settings I noticed That my Standard Open HCD USB Host Controller is sharing IRQ 21 with NVIDIA NFORCE MCP Network. Does this have to be addressed also?

New Video Cards- Motion Performance

Anyone have any early insight on the new video cards and their expected performance with motion? Do you guys think the nVidia will out perform the ATI? As I recall, in the last batch the x1900 was the strongest for Motion.
Here are the new available build options for Mac Pros:
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB (Two dual-link DVI)
2 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB [Add $150]
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB (Two dual-link DVI) [Add $200]
3 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB [Add $300]
4 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB [Add $450]
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB (Stereo 3D, two dual-link DVI) [Add $2850]

Some offline discussions and various lists of high end users indicate "no one knows yet." The new systems have not been tested by experienced users who can offer opinions I would trust. I'd certainly not rely on Apple's promises or claims. Give the motion graphics and video worlds a few months to play with them.
We also have no definitive answer to "Will any of these new cards work in older Intel Macs?" There is already uncertainty whether the newer form factor cards will work in the older form PCI slots. The mfrs a[[ear to suggest they will.

System PSU requirements for new Video Card

I need to know if my system can support a new video card (fx5600 or radeon 9600 up) considering that I only have 300 watts psu. What voltage railing and how much current does these cards use? I cannot find any technical specs for these cards so I cannot compute for the power requirements my system will need if I change video cards.

Given a 300watts PSU, I would not placed my bets on either cards as the Fans don't really eats up the powers, it's the CPU + RAM + Mobo + VGA that are the main power consumers!!!
Considering a recommendation for you to go with the current PSU you have, most probably a GF4 MX440 will max out every supplement there.

Trouble adding new video card to p6-2310

I have the Pavilion P6-2310 (Windows 8.1, 64-bit) and I would like to add a new video card to the empty PCI-E slot in the machine. I would also like the keep the onboard video capability, as I'm looking to drive 3 monitors. I have an older GeForce 7300LE that I tried putting in last night and was able to get the card working by turning off Secure Boot and enabling Legacy Mode in the BIOS, but the machine would then not recognize the onboard video.
There were no settings in the BIOS to enable/disable onboard video (BIOS is AMI 8.04), so I'm wondering if there was a trick to keep the onboard video while using a PCI-E graphics card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi:
When you install a discrete video card, the onboard graphics is automatically disabled.
Please see the video specs for the motherboard in your PC at the link below.

2nd video card does not work

I have a spare Mac Pro here so I decided to remove the video card and put it in the one I'm using. Both machines were purchased in '09 and use the same video card (ATI Radeon HD 2600). The two monitors I have hooked into the original video card work fine but the monitors I hooked into the newly placed video card are not working. Under the About This Mac specs >> PCI cards it shows up and says driver is installed. Is there anything special you need to do to get a second video card to work?
Thanks.

I tried the SMC reset. I removed the card and reseated it. I'm seating it in slot 2 because that's the only other one that is x16. The other slots 3-4 are x4. Still nothing is showing up. When I go to System Preferences >> Displays >> Detect Dispalys nothing happens. The two displays plugged into the original video card work fine but the newly installed on does not show up. Here is what the Mac Info is detecting. Maybe this makes sense to someone. Not sure what MSI is referring to and the second video card is reading as "display" instead of "ATI Radeon HD 2600". Link speed on the second card is half that of the original.

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
G5 PCIe options are listed here:

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)." My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac? Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.
