My friends and I decided to chip in to buy an EVGA GTX 750Ti SC for another friend's birthday the other day, but the card simply doesn't work.
He installed it himself and informed me of it not working, so I went ahead and tried myself, being careful to make sure it was correctly installed and that he had the correct drivers. Without the GPU using integrated graphics everything boots up just fine, but using the 750Ti there is no picture or boot to the bios, just an underscore "_" in the top left and either "A1" or "B2" in the bottom right hand corner. The monitor is connected through DVI using the included DVI - VGA adapter.
In fear of the card being DOA, I took it home for testing in my own rig. I have an EVGA GTX 760 SC and swapping the cards out resulted in no issues. Everything worked as expected, GeForce Experience recognised the card just fine and it performed as it should have in a quick benchmark. I was however using HDMI to connect it to my monitor.
Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks
