Graphic Card not working.

i just built my new computer, but when i turn it on my monitor say "No signal detected." My monitor is a 21" BenQ.

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7, X58
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB SATA2
Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL8 (Delivered back, and bougth Corsair Dominator DHX+ DDR3 1600MHz 6GB instead but haven't recieved them yet.)
Intel Core? i7 Quad Processor i7-930
XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5
Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Sort
Corsair TX 950W PSU

That's my specs. Dont know what to do know :S

I'm going to "assume" that you've already done this, but....

The last one I built, I had to take the video card out and re-seat it in the slot. I know it sounds kinda pointless, but it worked for me. Not sure why it worked though. My guess is the stiffness of the pins in the slot, but who knows.

Does the machine beep when it's POSTing? (if you have a mobo speaker attached)

Have you tried booting with the card in another slot?

Triple checked that the PCI-e power plugs are firmly secured, or even tried swapping plugs?

you Mobo has an On-board Debug LED display for troubleshooting

what code is it displaying?

If you kept the Mobo Manuel you should be able to reference the code somewhere in the code index most likely at the back of the manual

If like my Abit board it should refance like

0.0 - operational - ready for operation (standby mode)
F.F - Fully functional (all checks OK)
0.1 - boot procedure and so on

Sometimes this system can be had to understand but we are here to help you with that provided you can give us as much info from the reference guide as possible

Edit: did you connect the supplementary dins to the (GPU) Graphics card?

check to make sure that the gpu is seated in the correct slot,and that the pcie cable fromt he psu is properly connected, and also make sure your vga/dvi cables are plugged in correctly.

it does stand 8.8. on the motherboard while they are some different lights.

Green, yellow, green, yellow right over the power supply to the mainboard.

at the bottom to right there is some other lights.

Green, green, yellow, yellow, red, red.

I think that is 8.B rather than 8.8 in which case its meaning is:

8Bh 1. Invoke all ISA adapter ROMs
2. Invoke all PCI ROMs (except VGA)

This to me doesn't mean much but im sure someone else here will know, just bare with us

My opinion of it is that there is a fault with the graphics card since ABIT(hex) lists: 8.B. AGP voltage ready
or
8B
1. Invoke all ISA adapter ROMs
2. Invoke all PCI ROMs (except VGA)

and when you compare the 2 hex lists the are almost identical

you can also try a C'mos reset

Try seating it in another available slot. It can be a good idea, worth trying. Install the drivers once more.

Same as mine. Unfortunately you and me are both victims of the wide-spread gigabyte EX58 a lot of people are complaining. After happening to me i investigated and there's a lot of info around.


I sent mine for RMA, as OCUK said that code 88 means trouble.
