software182 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 ok, i have a problem and it's realy weird. my ext vga card ( gtx 660 ) cant display in my monitor, ( it shows "no signal" message ) but my onboard vga works with no problem.i thought the problem was my psu but i think it's not the problem cause i already own new psu ( corsair cx 600 ).ive also tested my vga card in other computer, it works flawlessly !could this be a problem with my motherboard ? ps : i own a very old mobo, gigabyte h55m-s2 series.

dcs18 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 could this be a problem with my motherboard ?Yes, the possibility is present - that would be bad news, though (so, let's first consider all other possibilities):--Did you try plugging your graphics card into another PCIe slot of your motherboard?Did you try some other kind of cable - HDMI / VGA / DVI (for the connection between your card and the monitor?)

software182 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 thank you dcs and chancer,@dcs :1. it only has 1 slot bro.2. i only have 1 cable, but if it was the cable, it shouldnt be working too when i put the cable to my onboard graphics.@chancer :yes, i have tried everything in bios, enable the pci, pge or pge2 slot in bios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Generally, a graphics card connects to the monitor via 3 different kinds of ports - HDMI / VGA / DVI.The connecting cable may be working - but, there could likely be a temporary (or, even permanent) issue with the one or more ports (either - on the graphics card side or the monitor.)BTW, which kind of cable are you using - HDMI / VGA / DVI? In order to troubleshoot, you might need to test out your system with the other 2 remaining kind of cables, too - hopefully, you might be able to borrow them.In case, the HDMI / VGA / DVI ports are found to be fine - you might have to finally check out your motherboard, on some other rig.

Dodel Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Disable the onboard vga, it's booting off the onboard VGA and not polling the GTX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a VGA cable, i lost my DVI / HDMI cable... i have 2 monitors, both works fine with my onboard vga and my VGA cable.I checked my graphics card in my friend pc and also with the same VGA cable which i have and my graphics card is workingI'm pretty sure the problem could be my motherboard PCIE slot :(It's really hard to find 1156 socket motherboard these days... maybe i would buy new motherboard & processor 2 months later :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cLcL Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 did the vga work in your motherboard before? or is it new vga? the main suspect should be your motherboard (the pci ex slot), but afaik the slot is rarely broken (unless it was defect from the start), so i suggest you try another ex-vga, preferably vga that doesnt need additional power from psu. the second suspect is your psu, you said it's new, so maybe it's defect, warranty should solve this.

info999 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 clearly the vga does not like the old "hole" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matsuda Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 It has happened with me sometime. I replaced the motherboard battery with a new one. (remove your battery and wait 10 minutes, then put it again and see if the signal is back) and make a clean in the memory slots. Verify if these are ok in the machine.

STEEL Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I had almost same problem before. I Un/Installed my GPU;s New drivers; Rebooted and installed old driver that came with GPU DVD. Afterwards it Reg;s and is still working fine (did update my driver again). Iam using Niv Driver Version 340.52 at the Moment for my Cuda Cores. If I remeber Correctly, before I rebooted, I removed my GPU cleaned the Slot and Replaced it (Just my 2cents ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted April 30, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 30, 2015 One more thing. Did you try another graphics card in your PC. This will give you an idea about your motherboard and it's PCI-E slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pope Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Wow haven't been on here in for ever!!! "Not that I would have been missed either way"Had a similar issue with a Asus B85M board I was building for a customer... A bios update did the trick.It wouldn't detect there was anything in the PCIe slot when the card was dropped in.If there isn't a bios update available for your board I would recommend re-flashing the same or dropping back 1.Just make sure the one your dropping back too doesn't make your CPU incompatible. "I have done that" :/Not saying it's going to fix your issue but it's a option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 It's really hard to find 1156 socket motherboard these days... maybe i would buy new motherboard & processor 2 months later :(OK, an electrical fire in my apartment fried my motherboard; which being from the LGA 1155 socket was similar in vintage to yours - was hunting for this mainboard for over 6 months before I just procured it (dirt cheap.)Was modding my BIOS, today and encountered the same problem which I eventually solved - did you manage to resolve your issue . . . . . . . . or, did you have to purchase a new Motherboard?
