Can't boot with new gpu (1 long, 2 short beeps)

Hello

The minimum psu requirements for the gpu is 750 watts.. We suggest a gold standard psu with at least a 5 to 10 warranty .

Have you tried a different hdmi cable? Also do you have another connection port that is not hdmi ?

1 long, 2 short beeps. Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information.

From where?
Prebuilt? DIY?

What BIOS and version

It can be processor and or CMOS battery failure.

lumix815 said:

It still booted up after the beeps. Could this maybe be a hint to what the problem is?

Since you state that they system boots can we get a speecy report.

So other can assist let get a speccy report.

Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

if i plug in my monitor into the motherboard and start it, it will boot up normal and if i then unplug my monitor from the motherboard and plug it into the gpu, everything seems to work until i turn my pc off again

Please tell me that you are not plugging and unplugging things while the computer is even connected to the wall socket let alone powered up.

new gpu : radeon r9 280x
psu: corsair vs650

Click to expand...

VS = Value Series which are bottom tier and not intended to be used for anything more than onboard video, Corsair do make good PSUs but they got it wrong with a couple and the VS range is one of them, so bad that it is rated as – Tier F • Replace immediately

Here is what Corsair advise as the intended use of a VS 650W PSU;

The Corsair VS650 is a great choice if you’re building a home or office system with lower power demands,

Remove the add on GPU until you get an appropriate PSU and while you are at it get yourself a bigger SSD, 120GB is way too small and will fill up in no time, 256GB is the smallest capacity that should be used for just Windows and the system drivers.

And about the SSD, it's not my pc it's from a friend of mine, but I try to encourage him to get a bigger one.

Are you saying that this is not actually your own computer.

lumix815 said:

well, i only swapped the hdmi cable from the motherboard to the graphics card, i never heard before that would be a problem.

One of the quickest ways to short out the MB is by swapping connections while the computer is plugged in, only hot swappable devices like external USB HDDs and thumbdrives should be connected or disconnected while a computer is plugged in and when the PC is active the USB devices must be ejected through Windows before being disconnected.

About the psu, it is probably a bit too weak,

PSUs are my forte and I am telling you with 100% certainty that the PSU is too weak, it is old, weak, not being used for what Corsair intended it for and last but not least, the VS range was crap even when it was released way back in 2012.

About the psu, it is probably a bit too weak, but it even used it for my 1080ti for years.

Click to expand...

It is to weak and the reason that it worked for years with that card is because that card required max of 250 watts. Key words are years and if it is as old as the motherboard then it can be showing some wear.


Your motherboard is limited to what you can use in it dating back to 2013.

Showing that you are also using crapware to get drivers.

Did you wipe the drive and preform a clean install of windows and then the drivers in the proper order?

Where did the install media come from and how was it created?
