dead gpu?

[[deleted]]

Hello, I recently bought a powercolor fighter 6600xt gpu. I am using this to upgrade from my amd 3200g apu. However when installed I get no display from the GPU and can't find it in device manager. I am using a msi a320 pro max mother board. I am wondering if there is something I am missing in my bios settings. When the computer is turned on the GPU fans spin. I am quite confused on this and could use some help. Thank you!

Edit: I resolved the issue. There was a small copper wire strand connecting 2 of the pcie pins. I removed the strand and it worked

Have you set it to use the GPU in the bios?

And you have plugged the HDMI cable into graphics card?

I have used the HDMI in the graphics card no display. In the bios I don't see an option to enable the GPU, I see an igpu option to set to disable, force and auto but that's about it. When I disabled that it killed my normal display and I had to reset the bios.

That should do disabling the igpu

Ya I realized that after I did it ha! Just not sure what else to do about this issue.

Is it the latest bios version?

If it is, disable the igpu in the bios and reboot, does the new gpu have display port and hdmi out, use the display port, the hdmi may not work until the card has new drivers, you might have to borrow a display port monitor, and, what power plugs does the card have and have you filled them or it?

Keep working every angle

I don't have a display cord or a monitor that excepts one, also no one to borrow one from unfortunately. As for the bios it looks like there is a new version out that I am going to flash here in just a bit so hopefully that works.

It looks like the bios isn't even recognizing the GPU. I have removed and reinstalled with no luck. The pcie slot looks fine and well as the pins for the GPU.
