GTX 460 Doesn't Work :(

[Tamahome]

I just got the GeForce gtx 460 and tried installing it. After I put it in, I booted up my PC and the damn screen just stayed blank. The last time this happened it was because the card at the time took too much power but COME ON I HAVE A 750W POWER SUPPLY NOW. That could not possibly be the problem @_@. I even tried takin out my RAM and the same shit happens.

 

NOTE: The package came with nothing but the card itself.

Where did you buy the card? Also try it on a different PC, different monitor, and different inputs.

first off, maybe you can tell us the specs of your PC, and what specs the card has.

 

and what do you mean with 'i even tried taking out my RAM'

same thing happened to me and in the box the card came in there should be the hooky thing you hook the moniter to the vid card and you have to put the hook the hooky thing to the old hook thing I dont know what there called so if some one knows what im talking about plz tell

I got it off newegg. It had good reviews . I tried different inputs. I have another computer but I know the power supply on that won't be able to support it so I can't try that :/

I have a 750w PS

my current card is a gts 250

AMD Phenom II X4 2.9Ghz

6GB DDR3 RAM

1TB Western Digital HDD

 

What I meant by that was I tried taking my RAM out and then turning on my PC with the card inside to see if my power supply not being powerful enough was the problem(which I always doubted especially since someone else with a 620w PSU was able to use the card.

What the fuck?

 

Anyways, I'm startin to think it's the card and I'm probably gonna RMA it and get a replacement. Maybe that card was just fucked up but if anybody's got any other ideas, I'm all ears.

well a 750W PSU should do be able to handle all of it, so yeah it could be the GPU itself

[Baykal]

Does sound like a faulty GPU, but in any case, what motherboard do you have?

MSI 870-G45

okay, first of all I recommend using the Tech support bucket subforum... but onto your actual problem, have you tried reseting the graphics card? sometimes its just not in all the way, and two have you tried using different PCIE power connectors? could be you're trying to draw too much from one rail or something dumb like that.
