Pc wont boot with gtx 970

I bought msi gaming gtx 970 around 6 months ago and it worked flawlessly until today. I opened my pc to clean it up a bit, and removed the gpu from the pci-e slot, and the next time (1 hour later) I put it back in it just stopped working. Display led is just flashing and shows a black screen, no bios splash screen or anything. The logo lits up and fans start spinning for like 10 seconds and then just stop. Everything is seated as it should be. Also, it was all tested on a 750w psu. Same thing happens when the 6 and 8 pin connectors aren't connected.
I've tried my old gtx 260 and gtx 570 and they both work fine, and also I've tried gtx 970 in an older pc with 500w psu and the same thing happens.
Is it dead or what?
Specs:
msi p67a-c45
intel i7 2600k
2x8gb kingston hyperx 2133mhz
silverstone strider 750w psu

Well, if other vgas do work in the same machine but the 970 will not work in that machine it worked in before and won't in another machine as well it is dead. Rma it.

Trying to boot with GTX 970 and getting no signal..

Installed a GTX 970 and since then the PC will switch on but I can't even get to the BIOS screen. If I take the card out then it boots fine.
I've tried updating the BIOS and drivers as far as I can but I am now stuck as to what the problem could be.
The lights on the card also come on but the fans don't spin.
The build is currently:
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard
Intel Core i5-4690K
G-Skill 4Gx2 Ripjaws DDR3 2133MHz
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS
Any help would be appreciated.

I would:
I assume this is a single card install?
1. Check card in another PC (if possible)
2. Check PS connections
3. Check PS's ability to output enough wattage
4. Try different monitor connection/cable
See where that takes you... and report back

P67A-G43 select boot device issue with GTX 970

I recently tried to install a new GTX 970 and ran into an issue where I am asked to select the boot device every time I boot the pc. I uninstalled the driver for my video card before installing it. The system appears to be stable once it boots into Windows. However, when I swap back to the GTX 760, that was in the system previously, it boots straight into Windows without having to select the boot device? I have seen lots of issues on the forum about the 970 and older boards but nothing specific to mine. I am currently have BIOS version 1.A0 installed. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, you need to update. Following the below updates to latest official bios (5.4 aka E7673IMS.540)
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download >>this archive<< and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt81_win78_xp.zip

Unable to use 4 monitors with GTX 970

I used to run 4 monitors with my EVGA 660Ti. I recently purchased a Msi GTX 970 4GD5T OC and now my VGA only utility monitor on the DVI-I port (with included adapter) wont display when in windows. It displays the bios on boot but once windows 7 initializes it reads "no RGB input". I must be missing something simple that I did before with my 660Ti but I can't remember. Tried it with another VGA only flat screen I had and the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean by only DVI won't display or something? four ports on vga or some ports in onboard port? Did you check NVIDIA control panel 3D Settings--Configure surround, and right click screen resolution on desktop?

Is my system compatible with GTX 970?

I have HP P7-1235 with MS 7778 (ver. 1.0) motherboard. I have recently purchased MSI GTX 970. When I put in the card and try to boot up the system, it freezes with Starting Windows sign on the display. From a research I have done it seems there might be a problem with my MOBO and/or BIOS version being compatible with the card. The BIOS version is AMI 7.07
I am running Windows 7.
Could anybody tell me if there is a newer version of the BIOS I need and or any other solution so I can run the GPU?
Or do I have to get a different GPU. Is so which one is high performance GPU compatible with my BIOS and MOBO?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
Unless your PC has a version 8 BIOS then don't count on the NVIDIA GTX 970 working in your PC even with the correct power supply installed.
Your PC has a version 7 BIOS.
Either of the below MSI graphics cards should work with the 300 watt power supply in your PC.

Comp wont boot with ram in any slots besides 1&3 no matter what, faulty board?

Ok i've tried pretty much everything, got latest bios, changed timings to everything but the comp just wont boot if I have any ram in slots 2&4. Actually got the comp to boot up with ram in slots 1&2 once, but tried with all 4 slots filled and didn't work, and after that slot 2 didn't work again.
Could it be a faulty board? I know it's not the ram.

Ahh, turns out you were right tiresmoke.
Even though I thought I had 4 sticks that were exactly the same..one wasn't. 3 of them are xms32004.1 0427033 - 0...the one i've always had in my comp is 5.1 0430069 - 1. Put in 2 of the 4.1 and was able to run dual channel np. That explains why one time I was able to run dual channel then switch the ram and couldn't..had no idea there was minor differences..and have no idea why I got 3 of one kind and 1 of another when I orderd the 4 sticks.
Going to try and exchange the 4 sticks for 2 1 gig sticks..how good is neweggs return policy heh? Been like nearly 2 months..

Very Initial results PPBM8 (CC 2014) with GTX 970 SC

Well this has been an interesting evening with my new EVGA GTX 970 SC with 4 GB. I got over $50 off on an open box unit so I could not resist!
My single GPU benchmark from PPBM using MPEG2-DVD with Hardware Acceleration scores have been the same as my GTX 770 SC.
I hope that GPU-Z is reporting this new GPU properly. There may be some confusion here with a brand new board.
I downloaded the latest EVGA overclocking tool Precision 16 and tried to adjust the memory speed as I have done dozens of times and I could not get any changes showing in GPU-Z.
I do like the it has HTML 2.0 (4K monitor compatibility).
I do like the lower power dissipation.
I do like the slight lower price. (4 GB GTX 770 to 4 GB GTX 970).
In the next few days I hope to get the answers somehow on the overclocking of the memory and compatibility with GPU-Z
Testing with Premiere 8.0.1.21

Thanks much Eric, now I hope I can get our results page updated. Apparently with the new Maxwell's you cannot change the real memory speed. I have sent more time with EVGA and no one can explain why. It can appear to be set differently but it does not change the results like it has in the other previous cards.
I will install my GTX 770 with the GTX 970 to see how they play.

MSI p67a-gd53 (b3) Wont boot with ram in slot 1 and 3, or 2 and 4.

Hi i recently built my own system, with just one ram stick in it boots fine and everything.
When i try to put the other stick in slot for so that in runs dual channel it just wont boot, it turns on starts the fans up and then just goes off, and repeats this.
The ram i have is Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit.
It also doesnt work in slots 2 and 4, can anyone help me :(?
My setup is :
OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6870 OC HAWK 1024MB
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB
Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD
Gets no beeps on boot with just one stick in, im really confused :s
All Help will be appreciated.

Both ram sticks worked in slot one and it would boot but I tried running a game and it froze each occasion, cud this be due to the ram being dual channel and only having one in? Or that the ram has the wrong settings.
I have returned the motherboard along with the ram to the shop i got it from for tests to see if the dimm slots had problems. Il let you guys know what they say.
Thanks for the advice, when I get it back il build it again and see if it runs fine, if not il try the things youve said.
Can anyone else shed any light on this? Any other things I may have to try?
Thx again

P35 Neo FR wont boot with 1066 Ram

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with a new build. The specs are
P35 Neo FR
E8400 (not overclocked)
2 gb Crucial Balistax tracer 1066 Ram
XFX 7900GS card
450W PSU
It will boot and I have been into windows to which all seems fine, however I have an issue.
1. The BIOS and CPU-Z are showing my ram at 667. I have manually adjusted it to 5-5-5-15 and set the divider so it should be running 1066. However it wont boot and goes into the re-boot over and over and over and over and over again "mode". This can only be rectified by re-setting the CMOS and then it will boot with its origional 4-4-4-24 timing @ 667. I have checked the voltages and they make no difference. It will only boot when the LED's on both ram sticks are lighting up on first power up. Ram has been tested in another PC and doesnt seem an issue.
Bios is 1.5 I think. Should I flash and go to 1.8?
I will also try the Mobo, PSU, HD and GPU without anything else attatched to see if there is a problem
Also, 1 stick of ram at a time to see if thats causing an issue.
I would appreciate any suggestions
Thanks

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 19-March-08, 22:28:13
Which FSB/Memory Ratio did you choose in BIOS?
Does it work, if you choose the divider for DDR2-800 MHz?
What is the memory voltage recommended for these modules @1066 MHz effective speed?
Did you try with one stick of RAM only?
Thanks for the quick reply
I think the divider was 1.1-6? I will confirm in a couple of hours once I am home. It works at 1-1 but the speed was 400mhz. It also ran at 667. Whatever that divider was.
I am going to try the one memory module test tonight and I will also report on that and the DDR800 settings.
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BL2KIT12864AL1065 Is my ram and its rated at 2.2V
Thanks in advance and I will update in the next few hours.

Comp wont boot with ram in any slots besides 1&3

No idea why...have 4 of the exact same ram and i've mixed and matched so it's not the ram..if I put ram in slot 2 or 4 the comp just wont boot.
Anyone know what is causing this? Thanks in advance

RADEON 7950 WONT BOOT WITH P67A-GD65

Just got a new ATI Radeon HD7950 graphics card a couple of days ago and it refuses to even boot in my main PC (Intel i7-2700K, MSI P67A-GD65).
Won't even get into BIOS. Just black screen.
Updated to latest BIOS. Still nothing.
Today I have tried the card in an older PC (Intel Q6600, ASUS Maximus Formula) and it works just fine.
So I thought it might have been a power supply issue so I swapped the power supply from old PC into my new PC, but it still didn't work.
So now I think its an incompatibility with the MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard.
Note: Previous graphics card was ATI Radeon 6870 which is still working fine with P67A-GD65.
Can anyone suggest why this graphics card won't boot with the P67A-GD65?

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 02-March-13, 06:16:55
What OS are you running? UEFI/BIOS version? CPU? Is this an MSI graphics card? If not, have you visited with the card manufacturer for any available information they may have?
Too much time passed for me to edit and delete this question of CPU, as you did list it.

H9-1150 PC wont Boot with WIndows 7 Premium 64 bit with ASUS 960 GTX Card.

I saw others have posted simular issues but i thought id repost this again in case there is more help. I have the Pavalion Elite Phonix h9-1150 desktop with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. and the HP 7.07 bios (seems no way to upgrade the bios).
The issue is like others have had i install the new graphics card the Asus 960 GTX Card which came out last month and the system starts up gives about 3 beeps in about 30 seconds each and then it goes to a black screen with a blinking curser and nothing else happens. cant enter bios or the HP settings..
I did try to disable UEFI boot devices in the bios settings and only enable legacy devices (after switching back to my original card then switching to the new card) but it still gives the 3 beeps upon booting. However i was able to enter windows. though i think it may be due to shutting off the computer with the old card in without powering down first. and after the 3 beeps happens (which still locks you out of the bios menu) it shows up the window where you can select safe mode or normal mode.. as sometimes happens if you boot up your computer with windows 7 if you had just turned it off without powering down or something. Through that i am able to enter windows and run the PC and graphics card with no issue its just when i try to boot the issue happens.
and No HP suppor it is NOT a defect with the Card itself. Like many before. i bought a EVGA Card a while back a 780 GTX and the SAME issue happend (though i didnt try the removing the UEFI boot devices then) ...
There is a spacific issue with HP computers that seem to lock out "new" hardware from booting.
Honestly ill be blunt. I really think this is poor doings I read somewhere that while HP will never state it they do this on purpose to prevent people messing up warrenty or any "liabity" occuring by people installing other hardware onto HP stock computers
that makes no since to me. the PC SHOULD be able to run the card. in fact its running it now once i was able to bypass the lock out (temporarly) check benchmarks everyhting is fine the card runs 3 times faster then the old one (as should be the case).
But its just this lockout that HP for some reason has installed on their bios/motherboards that is the issue.
Good news is i got it from amazon and i have about a month till i have to return it. which i think this time i will do. to see if anything crops up in a month or something.
The ONLY solution it seems HP offically has is that to disable secure boot under windows 8
but this is not a windows 8 computer. and i do assume even if iINSTALL windows 8 . the issue would not go away because since its an older bios there would be no way to have a secure boot option to remove?
HP you really need to get on the ball and give us a direct reply on this. Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Can you not simply make a update of older bioses to allow this? Or do you just not want to worry about older pCs?
either way i think this is wrong and very frustrating and to be honest. If this is the case when my pc otherwise SHOULD run the card
its a PCI express 16x slot that is 3.0
here is the deetailed specs as per your page
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03273835
the card SHOULD WORK fine. I thought the 780 GTX was a bit too much for the PC as it had more then a six pin port and needed a bit more power so at first i thought that was the issue. so i returned it. and got this new card now.
however the ASUS 960 GTX card requires the SAME power supply as the default GTX 550 Ti card and the SAME SIX PIN connector
so it SHOULD work.
and benchmarks show that it DOES its just the stupid bios ..that is having the issue.
i am afraid to power down the computer at the moment and try again to see if windows boots normally after disabling the UEPI boot devvices because it may not boot properly.......
HP you are one of the biggest suppliers of computers you know technology these are YOUR computers. WHY cant you give us a direct awnser over this.
ITS VERY frustrating
and to be honest if i cannot resolve this issue i am very hestient to ever buy another HP product if their computers spacifically have this new hardware lockout mode.
because i have the card running now on my pc it runs great! 3 times faster as it should! and yet i know in the back of my mind if i cant figure out this issue likely ill just have to send it back.........least i have some time.
and right now i dont have the money to buy a new pc . this PC is JUST fine for what i need for now other then wanting a bit better card...
it shoudnt be this much of a hassle should it?
Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi,
You need the BIOS update that is listed under Windows 8 in order to support the newer graphics. You need to upgrade to Windows 8 or temporarily install Windows 8 so that you can install the BIOS update. While there may be other ways to install the BIOS update, clearly having Windows 8 running will be the safest way. The version 8 BIOS is your best chance at getting the newer graphics cards to work.
You can trial Windows 8 Enterprise for 90 days.
If you decide to install W8, then create the HP external recovery media and backup your data before you do anything.
The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

MacBook wont boot with a USB HDD attached

The problem I am experiencing is that I bought a USB 2 HDD (500gb lacie) and I formatted it to 2 partitions but now when I try to boot up my MacBook, it wont go past the grey screen (no Apple logo). If I remove the usb hdd it works again and boots to Leopard. And for some odd reason when I'm in Leopard and after the boot crazyness, if I replug it in, it wont recognise the drive at all, I have to disconnect the power cable and plug it back in to see the drive again.. Is there a work-around for this, 'cause I dont want to be playing with the cables everytime I have to reboot...

Ah! Then I'm sure that both devices would need Windows drivers!
Maybe there are some later drivers for the webcams...

That sort of thing is typical of incompatible modules. Turns out that unless you order your add-on memory from Toshiba or buy memory made by Kingston, you'll likely as not have that difficulty.
