POST codes after GTX970 install

[cbrriderr]

So i update my GPU from a 680 to the gigabyte Geforce GTX970 G1. when I power up i got a bunch of post codes; here are the codes and what they mean from EVGA MB manual. this is where I am stuck I do not know how to proceed or what to do. also the power cable I have 2 8 pin pci and the new gtx 970 has 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin socket. when i plug in i get the EVGA logo and initial screen and then MB starts to beep and reset to blank screen. please help me

How are you plugging in the power connectors? Based on what I can see on that card, you should be able to get away with plugging in two 6's versus a 6 and an 8. See if that makes any difference.

That's how the 680 was .just 2 6 pin. But on this one 970 if I plug just 2 6. Screen comes on saying
Please power down and connect power supply to video card.
The pci cables come directly from psu internal. They are not clipped in on it. I can't replace them

Could be a bad card. Possibly a BIOS reset with the new card installed and connected as required will help.

its brand new I did mb reset pull out battery. ii cant even get to bios though

i found these in bag of cabel that came with pc a direct 8 pin pci cable that i can plug to the PSU I plug a 6 pin and 8 pin and same thing.

What kind of power supply do you have?

 

[i7Baby]

2x8pin= 2x(6+2)pin. Your connectors should be OK. Depends on your PSU - needs to be good quality 500+W.

 

[cbrriderr]

Antec 1000w

For one 970 that seems overkill.

High Current Pro Platinum? High Current Gamer? or what?

 

[cbrriderr]

I guess it. Is gamer pc . that some one else put together. Maybe he was going run sli. But I'm giving up . shipping it back today. I found a evga gtx970 has exact same. 2 6 pci connectors as my 680 did. So I just order that now. This 970 g1 Is from gigabyte.

I have a evga mb 16 gig. 4000hrs ram q9650 3.2 cpu

Which MB is this ? The older sandy bridge MB (which has pcie 2.0 slots) require firmware update to use a pcie 3.0 card.

I had an old msi MB and had to find a beta bios to get a new (r9 390) video card work - was a real hassle.

 

[cbrriderr]

MB is EVGA 132-CK-NF79 serial 1 version 2 this is my MB. how do I do firmware update
im pretty sure its pci3

 

[you2]

I doubt it has pcie-3 support. THe last bios was 2009; pcie-3 spec was 2010 and actual MB had them afterwards. The bios that 'fixed' my motherboard was released in 2013.

Here are the specs:
‰ Triple PCI Express x16 Support
¾ 2 x16 PCI Express 2.0
¾ 1 x16 PCI Express 1.0
¾ Supports 4 GB/sec (8 GB/sec concurrent) bandwidth

I would contact evga support at this point and ask them for advice.
-
Quite frankly the dual core is a bit dated at this point and I'm not sure they can fully utilize a 970 (slow cpu).

Ya I just talk to evga tech. My mb will only support up to 700 series gpu. I'll need a mb w uefi bios. Like lga775 for 60 bux
