I recently purchased an xfx HD 5770 video card to replace my old ATI 3870.
Old card was overheated and doesn't work properly, but i can operate in safe mode on it.
When i put the new video card in, i turn on the computer and i get no display.
I've tried with both of my monitors, and neither gets any sort of display at all.
The fan runs on the card, so i don't think its dead. I also have another 5770 that they sent me on accident, so i figured i would try that one out too, and i get the same blank screen.
Also, with the new video card in, when i turn on the computer i've noticed i can't open the disk drive.
Also these
Little LED's on the mobo that display all sorts of letters and numbers, i wish i could explain them better, BUT when the computer is working properly they display FF.
When i put the new video card in, it cycles between
24-46-90-CO
really fast, the cycle continues until i turn off the computer.
I don't know if that is of any use, but i figured i'd include it anyways.
I've been forum hopping for the past 2 hours and i can't find anything that has helped.
I've uninstalled all of the old drivers, i've put in a new power supply to ensure that i was getting enough juice for the card, i'm probably forgetting other things i've tried which i know is not the greatest thing to do when looking for help on a forum.
My System:
nForce 590 motherboard
amd 3ghz 6000+ cpu
ultra 650w psu
2 gigs of ddr2 800mhz of ram
windows xp
