New GPU not working?

[gware118]

Is my motherboard and current bios right for this gpu?

[gware118]

I thought that the gpu needed a 400 watt psu?

Also the rgb is on but does that not mean it has power?

The light may be on but that doesn’t mean anything.

The bare minimum is 400W, but with that you’re not leaving much power for the rest of the system though. The CPU, motherboard, hard drive, etc. all need power, and the GPU requires it’s own power cable to it which draws even more power from the PSU.

I suspect that the problem could be that your MB is Legacy as opposed to UEFI BIOS, to check;

Press Win + R > type msinfo32 and press Enter.
Look for the BIOS Mode entry
If it says Legacy the MB and GPU are not compatible I`m afraid..
