Where do you have the monitor plugged in to?

↑ that, and also
What is the hardware in question -- the CPU model, the GPU model and the monitor model would be important in particular

That, and also
Do you have any motherboard LEDs shining or a memory error

#

Try different RAM slots if you have a memory light shining on your motherboard

Oh and make sure your monitor is plugged into your GPU, the GPU does not pass through to the Motherboard graphics

cobalt light Jan 17, 2025, 4:16 AM

The thing is, this is 2011 motherboard

There is no debug LEDs

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay...
We'll need
A list of specs, including the motherboard

#

I'm starting to think the GPU and motherboard are simply incompatible

OR the bios hasn’t been updated for the new CPU

Also, which component would this be?

Ahh, I see

#

The GPU should be perfectly compatible since most motherboards that support the E5-1650 have standard GPU support for those cards

#

I’d bet it’s the RAM, or your cable you’re using to connect the GPU to your monitor

#

Also try switching your monitor’s input, some monitors don’t automatically select inputs

Yup, just checked
It's PCIe 3.0 and has like a million lanes (40)

Try a different memory configuration.

#

That slot layout has been problematic for me before

cobalt light Jan 17, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

I’ll try unplugging one of the memory stick

vernal forum Jan 17, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

And reseat the other one (pop it out and back in again)

#

Sooo did it work?

cobalt light Jan 17, 2025, 4:33 AM

#

It did

#

#

But it no longer works when I plug the other Ram stick

vernal forum Jan 17, 2025, 4:40 AM

#

Then the other RAM stick is bad causing a memory error

#

Glad your pc works though
