I have a 990fx gd80 motherboard from msi and i am having wierd issues with my new 660ti ftw signature 2. To start off i was running a 9500gt in my system till i could afford a mid tier card, I uninstalled the drivers for the 9500gt and put in the 660ti , but no image showed up on screen so i swapped it around in the pci express ports on the mobo but still nothing, and then i tried putting the 9800gt back in. And here is where it gets odd an image comes up through the gt and then switches over to the hdmi on the 660ti,but whenever i try to remover the 9800gt i just get a blackscreen through the hdmi, it runs games off of the 660ti and bareley uses the 9800gt. I have seen other people have problems with this same board and graphics card. Is there any way i can fix this? because im trying to get it to work with just the 660ti so i can use the 9500 for a media pc. Or is this just a permanent problem with the motherboard and the 990fx chipset? and if it is permanent i have another motherboard replacement lined up.
if you only install the GTX 660 ti in the first pci-e slot then you also dont get any image? do you get an error code on the motherboard display?
Try resetting the bios. Make sure the ram is seated right. All connections are secured
i tried all of these things it starts up fine and doesnt show up any errors it just shows no image on the screen, and no it is not the hdmi port, none of the ports display video at all. The post screen wont even show up, but otherwise the fans and everything on the card work just fine. I have seen various other people on toms hardware talk about this problem with this setup, and i think it is just the motherboard. if not then i dont know what I did wrong when installing it. I had a friend bring his pc over a while back and it worked just fine in his and displayed everything just fine through all ports.
i have an msi board and 99 is the normal operation code and it displays it well after start up but still no image, its like the motherboard isnt letting it be a video out put without the 9800gt plugged in
so if im getting this whole thing right, the GTX660Ti only shows image, wenn the 9800GT is also plugged in ? This is realy realy wierd.... :s if you only put in the GTX660 in the first slot you should get an image.. seems to me there is something totaly messedup with the bios, or something wrong with the pci-e slots, i would contact msi and send it back for rma cause this isrealy wierd.
i tried contacting msi a few months back right when i got this problem and there is still no reply, and i havent updated the bios in about 3 months so that might be the problem, Unfortunately im out of town right now so ill get back to you when i find out and then spread the word if that fixed it. Have a fantastical day!
Yeah try to update the bios to latest version wenn you back in town, and look if that solves the problem if not, then the board should be rma´d
ill just keep it for another build if it just defective towards a certain card becuase i have an am3+ fx 4100 cpu laying around and a geforce 210
