Windows 10: Video Card Issues S.O.S.

Bought the Video card from newegg.ca (40% off -refurbed, originally $225 CAN Sale price $145 CAN)... The fans run on the VC. Thinking about re-hooking up the old video cards (which work fine) and check out the Bios, Boot order, etc.

 

If it boots with other card i am sure there is nothing out of order there. There is no integrated Graphics on either board you tried. Just set the BIOS to default and exit. Refurbs can be bad, usually no warranty from manufacturer unless sent back to NewEgg within 30 days of purchase.

 

hey all, thanks for the input... I contacted newegg.ca and will receive a RMA tomorrow to replace what seemingly is a defective Video Card... My new plan is to spend a little (possibly get a GTX 960/970 4gb Video Card) fingers crossed that'll work better...

 

Newegg is a good company you will have no issues doing that. I have an EVGA GTX 970 SSC 4GB, heard of some issue with both 960 and 970 for some, but so far for me mine has worked great for almost 2 years now. Good luck and let's see what happens.

 

EVGA PSU's or GPU's any good?

 

Well i have been buying EVGA Graphics cards for years and have not had any issues myself, i would recommend them, there rated good and support is good 24/7. Also have an EVGA 750 G2 PSU, they make good PSU also and again most are rated well.

 

Thanks! Makes me like them even more. I might be buying a 960 from them. *Smile

 

Your Welcome ! Everyone has there opinion on what they like the best, there are around 4 major manufacturer's for Graphics cards, MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA and ASUS. Research if you like. As far as a PSU out of these major manufacturer's i believe only EVGA makes them, as there are many other PSU manufacturer's to choose from.

Thanks for the site! Really helps me choose what I would like, lots of options to choose from *Smile

 

YW, one thing about EVGA lot's of choices on one model like 960 and so on...

 

Cool! *Cool

 

Seems I'm back at square with my Video Card problem. It's been a month (family illness caused the delay) since my original issue trying to install a GTX 950. It didn't work, it was a re-furnished VC, returned it for a new better EVGA GTX 970. Installed it, same problem. Didn't work.... Guess my refurbished VC might have been OK.

The MB is a few year old GA-X79S-UPS-WIFI. The error signal was 4 short beeps about 39 seconds apart, right after the 4th short beep the Gigabyte Logo screen goes blank followed by a blinking cursor on the top left corner. I have a 850 Corsair PSU, with DDR 3 memory chips.... The 4 beeps I guess has something to do with memory issues, might that be a problem? I popped out and replaced the MB battery and removed the old VC driver. Would this new card need DDR 4 or 5 memory chips?

This is whole thing stated with my purchase of a 4K monitor..... Hope I don't have to do too many hardware upgrades (New MB, etc or get anymore frustrated.... lol). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.... Thanks
