Soap September 7, 2012 Share Soap Member September 7, 2012 I just got this GTX670 today. Plug it in, power up and the screen stays blank. Checked all power cables, all connections, just fine. When I swap back in my 8800 GTX works fine. Motherboard: M2n32Sli Deluxe with bios 5002 Powersupply lists the following: Ac Input: 100-240v 47-63 Hz 10-5A Fuse rating 12A/250V DC output: 600W +5v 30A +12v1 0-26A +12v2 0-20A +3.3v 0-30A -5V 0-0.8A -12V 0-0.8A +5VSB 0-2A +5V and +3.3V Max current 50A +12V1 and +12V2 Max current 40A Can anyone tell me if i'm doing it wrong or this is just a bad card?

Flitterkill September 7, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member September 7, 2012 My gut says power problem. Can you post a pic of what it looks like? Are you pulling the power off both 12v rails? What is the exact PS you have? Same for card (manufacturer, model #) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC September 7, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member September 7, 2012 Does your motherboard have LED or beeps for error codes? My motherboard gives me a specific no video signal error when there's something wrong with the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soap September 7, 2012 Author Share Soap Member September 7, 2012 No beeping....psu is EMACS model PSM-6600P not sure about the rail part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill September 7, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member September 7, 2012 I see it's an evga card as google has already indexed your questions there I'm betting it's your PS. It's old. 8800GTX requirements for power are a far cry from what your new bird wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amertrash September 7, 2012 Share amertrash Member September 7, 2012 That's an old motherboard, PCIe 1.0. The card should still work fine with it however, but you never know there may be some incompatibility. That PSU looks like an old cheapo, do what Fk said and check the rails. More than likely 12v1 is wired to the 4 pin motherboard connector, you should look at the power connectors, a lot of times they are labeled, in your case perhaps "12v1" and '12v2". I'm guessing that video card uses two 6 pin PCIe connectors and your PSU only provides a single 6 pin connector so you are using at least one 4 pin molex to PCIe 6 pin adaptor. I'd unplug everything but a single DIMM, the 20(4) + 4(4) pin motherboard connectors, and the video card. If you're using the 4-pin molex to PCIe pin adaptor move it to a different bundle of cables and retry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumrunner September 7, 2012 Share rumrunner Member September 7, 2012 tigerdirect.com has ps starting at 77 dollars for 700w w/twin pci(6) pin connecters, or get a modular one and just use the cables u need check out ultra X4 119.00 750w PC hardware becomes outdated every 8 months but a good ps should last u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai nightling September 8, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member September 8, 2012 Yeah I'd try a newer PSU. If you want to try and save money first, you could RMA the card, and if the new one still doesn't work, then I'd say its a PSU or mobo problem.

rumrunner September 8, 2012 Share rumrunner Member September 8, 2012 Yes always call the vender, or the company and get the info you need to troubleshoot probelms, and register the product on their site for warrenty protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumrunner September 8, 2012 Share rumrunner Member September 8, 2012 forgot to ask your 670 GTX video card connecters are they 2-6 pin or 1-6 pin, and 1-8 pin or 2-8 pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher September 9, 2012 Share Preacher Member September 9, 2012 Oh and to ask the obvious did you plug in both connectors properly? Reseat and check those man. If still nothing I suggest simply an RMA using the vender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barashin September 27, 2012 Share Barashin Member September 27, 2012 I have the 670ftw and a 4 year old 600W PSU. Works just fine. Technically, the 670 only needs 500W i believe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
