Installation issues with a GTX750 Ti OC 2GDD5

Solved

Hello,

For the past 2 days I've been trying to change my graphics card but it’s causing me a problem,
I will try to explain my issue as much as possible.
On Friday I uninstalled my GeForce 620 and then installed my GeForce GTX 750 Ti OC 2GDD5, so far so good, I turn on the PC and the first image displays correctly (with the computer brand, and a phrase at the bottom saying press DEL for the BIOS and press F12 for the BOOT menu). This image disappears and then, a black screen with a white blinking cursor appears in the top left corner of the screen and it can last for hours. When I try to access the BIOS or the boot menu, I get a completely black screen without the little cursor and nothing happens.

I had a 300-watt power supply that I replaced with an ANTEC 620-watt but the problem persists. However, when I reinstall my GT620, my PC starts up directly without any issues... I thought it might be my BIOS since I can’t access it with my GTX750, so I updated my BIOS and still have the same problem.

I need your help and expertise.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

    Are you sure you don't have to connect 2 6-pin connectors for the power supply to your board?

    Is this the right board or not?

      Yes, this card is good and it has no additional power connections since it's a Maxwell architecture, so low power consumption, and it is limited to the power from the PCI port!

    Hi

    She might need a direct connection to the power supply via a cable with a 6-pin connector, is it properly plugged in?
    Have you tried all the video outputs for the screen? (DVI, VGA, etc.??)

    Hi

    So how did you proceed in detail?

    To change the graphics card: turn off the PC, unplug your card, turn on the PC with the screen connected to the motherboard, remove the drivers, use Ccleaner to completely clean up the remnants of the drivers, turn off the PC, connect your card without plugging the screen into it, install the driver through "all-drivers.com" (only install certified drivers, no beta).
    Turn off the PC, connect your screen to your card, and start the PC.

      use Ccleaner to completely clean up the remnants of the drivers

      Dangerous and unnecessary when it comes to an Nvidia to Nvidia (there's not even a need to uninstall the old driver, the installation of the new one takes care of it automatically)

      not useless.
      I switched from a GTX 670 to a GTX 770 and without removing all traces of the previous driver my PC was glitching because it recognized the 770 but kept looking for a 670.

      Once I removed the drivers and ran CCleaner, no more issues.

      In this specific case, yes, there was an anomaly, that's true.
      But otherwise, it works very well in 99% of cases, the use of driver uninstallation software often leads to corruption of the registry.

    If the card doesn't display the BIOS correctly, it's no longer a software issue but a hardware one, because no drivers come into play when the BIOS loads or at the very beginning of the boot process. I advise you to test your new card on another PC to see if it's the same issue. If it is, return it and get another one.

    Hello,

    I just went to replace my graphics card thinking it was more of an issue with the card itself, so I tried to install my new card and it's still the same problem. Could it be that there's an incompatibility between my graphics card and my motherboard?? Knowing that I shouldn't have any issues, especially after updating my BIOS.

    @Flogger

    It's a card equipped with Maxwell architecture, so it is very energy-efficient and is powered only by the PCI slot.

    @Le_vilain

    I proceeded as you described, with a proper installation...

      Could it be a compatibility issue between my graphics card and my motherboard?

      It's very rare, but possible with OEM motherboards from brands like Acer or Dell, etc.
      In fact, this seems to be the case here..........

      It may also be related to the motherboard's BIOS if it is UEFI; sometimes the secure boot feature prevents startup when changing the graphics card.
      This is explained in this HP note (which I have on hand, but it's the same issue with other manufacturers).
      So you should try disabling it to see if that's simply the problem (whether it's Windows 8 or 7, it’s the same in this specific case).

      I haven't tried this option yet. You just taught me something I didn't know. I'm going to try it out tonight when I get home from work, and I'll keep you updated.

      Thank you very much for your advice; it's really helpful to me :)

      Is your card an Nvidia or another brand? The OC range is often modified by other manufacturers like ASUS, MSI, and so on.

      The exact model would be a good indication.

    @Flogger

    I just tried your solution, I looked through my BIOS but there's no blocking security in my BIOS... I really believed it :'(

    @Le_Vilain

    It's an ASUS Geforce GTX750 Ti

    The architecture doesn't mean that it doesn't have an additional power connector; it's just that it isn't optimized like an MSI GTX 750 Ti.

      The GTX 750 does not have an external PCIe power connector on the card. It relies solely on the power provided by its PCIe slot…

    UP !

    I did a lot of research regarding "secure boot" that could block my new graphics card. I found the method to disable it on Windows 8, but I am using Windows 7, and I haven't found how to disable "secure boot" in my BIOS. I searched my BIOS thoroughly and found nothing.

    Any solution ??

      your pc is from a manufacturer brand, isn't it!!!
      if that's the case, your bios is locked and you won't have access to certain settings.

      I found a solution, I configured my BIOS to "QUIET BOOT" off and I managed to start my PC with my new graphics card, but at startup, my PC gets confused and takes longer to boot up, but it still starts :)

      Thanks to everyone for your help!!!!!!

      It was the second point to check in the UEFI.
      Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to develop my analysis properly, too much external interference.
      But the UEFI is indeed the problem, on branded PCs it's becoming increasingly frequent; thanks to these options, they control hardware changes, making it difficult if not impossible for average users to change internal peripherals.

      I have exactly the same problem... I just bought an Asus GTX 750 TI OC graphics card and the only result I get when I start up after installing it properly is a beep and the "HP" boot image; Windows refuses to launch...

      Anyway... I would simply like to know how you changed your Quiet Boot... I've searched for hours and can't find a way...

      (Otherwise, maybe I should update my BIOS, but from what I saw, there is no update available...)

      Nothing is resolved yet as far as I can see. I can't install my drivers for this same card. What should I do?
