  1. I just installed a new graphics card and my pc turns on but it's unresponsive


    Hi! I just bought and installed a new graphics card into my desktop computerThe old one was an Nvidia GTX 1050 and the new one an Amd Radeon RX6600I plugged everything in, pressed the start button and my pc seemed to boot. Except it only got to the screen with the logo where it says press DEL or F2 to enter UEFI BIOS settings. But it won't let me enter when I press the buttons on my keyboard nothing happens. I put the old card back in and it works fine. Maybe I need to remove the old drivers from the other card first? Would love to find a solution to this quickly

    :)

  2. PC slow with new graphics card

    In an attempt to upgrade my old PC, I replaced my Geforce 9800 GT graphics card with a new Radeon RX580 graphics card. Unfortunately, with the new graphics card installed and my old graphics card removed, my PC takes 10 minutes to boot. Task manager shows
    a high percentage of system interrupts after I login and my PC is too slow to use.

    Interestingly, if my old and new graphics cards are installed, my problem completely goes away. I could just leave both graphics cards installed and disable my old card, but I'd really like to remove my old card to give my new card more
    breathing space inside my case.

    How do I make my PC responsive with my old graphics card removed and my new graphics card installed?

    I've tried the following:

    1. Used Display Driver Uninstaller to remove my old display drivers.
    2. Physically disconnected all non-essential devices.
    3. Used device manager to disable all non-essential devices.
    4. Updated all drivers.
    5. Used dsim and sfc /scannow to repair corrupt files (no corruptions found).
    6. Used Microsoft Windows Performance Analyser to create an ETL file.

    PC specs:

    • Gigabyte ga-ud5-ex58 motherboard with F13 BIOS (latest version).
    • Intel i7 920 CPU.
    • 32GB RAM.
    • Samsung SSD.
    • Geforce 9800 GT graphics card.
    • Windows 10.

    graphics card problems

    Hi,

    Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

    • Turn your computer off.
    • Pull out your video/graphics card.
    • Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
    • Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.
    Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

    Let us know how it goes.

    How to install/use new graphics card when currently running igp

    Ok, I know I can't buy the GTX1070 yet, but once I have it, how do I install/use it?
    Currently I'm using Intel HD530 graphics on my i5 6500 CPU.

    What I think the procedure should be:
    • Leave the DVI cable connected to the motherboard, startup PC with IGP.
    • Go in the BIOS and look for an option to disable IGP and enable PCIe graphics.
    • Save BIOS (do I still have display once I saved this setting?) and shut down.
    • Inserting new graphics card.
    • Connect DVI cable to graphics card.
    • Startup PC.
    • Install new graphics driver.
    Would this be the correct way?
    Also do I need to uninstall the Intel graphics before installing the Nvidia display driver
    (or even before doing the mentioned steps above)?

    Thanks!
