Graphics card issue

822 Views 15 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  managed
A couple of weeks ago i put a new graphics card in my pc. I realized after that i didnt have the right power cord for it. Not a problem. I removed the card and turned on my pc. My pc turned on fine and ran well. I thought it would revert to internal graphics. However my display wasnt showing any start up screens or anything. Display works fine and all cords are fine. But still no screens. Please help. I dont know what to do.

Hi and welcome to TSG,

Is there nothing at all on the screen, even just after switching on ? How do you know the display 'works fine' ?

When i turn on the screen, the screen shows the logo of the monitor. And then it says no signal
Try resetting the Bios, remove the power cord from the PSU first.
Usually there is a jumper on the motherboard to do it, if not remove the Cmos battery for a few minutes.
That should make it use the onboard graphics again.
If it doesn't help what make and model motherboard is it ?

I tried that and it did the same thing.

All I can think off is to check all cables are connected properly to the motherboard, also check the graphics cable of course.
On the monitor does it show which connection is in use, like VGA, HDMI etc ? If it does make sure it's the correct one.

Already have. Its the right input and everything. I even replaced the hdmi, and switched to a different screen just to make sure.
Maybe you could get an adapter cable so you can power the Graphics card properly.

PSU is smart series thermaltake SP500AH2NKW
What Graphics card do you have ? (I should have asked this before, sorry).

Your components should work together, the PSU is not bad and the Graphics card is rated at just 75 Watts so there should be plenty of power to drive it. You will need an adapter cable though.

Were you using the built-in graphics of the Ryzen 3200G successfully before you tried the new graphics card ?

Yes. I used my pcs built in graphics for months before. Would putting the new card back in with the adapter fix it?

I can't say for sure, it depends on whether there is some sort of problem with the motherboard or cpu, I think it's your best bet now though.

What kind of adapter should i use
You said your PSU didn't have the right connector to fit the GPU so you will need an adapter to go from a PSU connector to the graphics card.

Different makers can use different connectors, what make is your graphics card ?
