Graphic Card Troubles.

[Realitycrash]

Still having them.
Basically, I bought a Radeon HD 7750 and installed it properly. The computer boots and I installed the drivers from the CD I got with it. Then, after rebooting, the computer refuses to restart.
So I take out the card, insert the old card, and the computer boots. I swipe all old drives, and try booting with new cards, but nothing happens. So I do a complete System Restore. Insert new card, computer boots. Take the drivers from AMD website instead, and being installing. Midway through install, computer tries to reboot..And doesn't reboot. The fuck?
So I take the card over to a friends house, and install it there, and his computer boots. We install the bullshit drivers from the CD, and his computer still boots.
Why?

I have enough power (600W) to run it, and I do not understand why this would happen. My system runs on Windows 8 (because that's what it shipped with, don't give me any lip about it, please), but it says right on the AMD website that the Radeon 7750 is Win 8 compatible.
Help?

Your old card wasn't nVidia, was it? If so, you'll be wanting to uninstall those drivers while the old card is installed before doing all the other stuff.

Help?

Your motherboard have a PCI Express 3.0 slot? AMD's website says a 7750 needs that kind of slot. 2.0 won't cut it.

No idea. How do I check? Also: Doesn't explain why it works properly before drivers are installed.

Nope.

Check your motherboard model on the Internet and see what kind of expansion slot it has.

And how would I know which model I have, since I haven't built my computer myself?

If it is pre-built, just Google the make and model number like "HP 420 XD" If someone built it for you, it would probably be easiest to just look for the make and model of the motherboard by opening the computer case.

Says so right on the motherboard. Also says "3.0" in large digits right above the PCI-port..

I hate to ask but what are the amps on the 12v?

46A, if I am reading the box correctly.
And the computer boots just fine when the drivers aren't installed, and when using another graphics-card. It just won't give me a screen-display when the drivers are installed.

1 x PCIe 2.0 x16

Says the website you linked. So there's your problem. You either have to return the video card and get another one that has PCIe 2.0, or buy a new motherboard with PCIe 3.0.

Unsure if that is the correct motherboard, though. The full number of the board is P8H61-M LX2/CM6731-8/DP_MB and it does say 3.0 over the PCI port.
But I couldn't find any link for the full descriptive name (also, the imagine of said Motherboard doesn't match the one I have)

I see this "REV 3.0" all over the website you linked me. I'm guessing that's it. But check the details of your motherboard and picture of the one you found to see if they're the same.

Edit: I see PCIe 2.0 written just above of the CPU.

My motherboard, took a picture and uploaded it just for you ^^

Think or do your research before you write stuff like that. All PCI Express cards are fully backwards-forwards compatible.

O.T. It sounds like a software problem. What I would do is a complete uninstall of old and new drivers and try to install again the drivers from the CD provided. Worst case scenario might be a Windows 8 bug. Also make sure you 've got the correct drivers depending on your version of windows (32 or 64 bits)

Huh, back to square one then.

Try installing AMD's latest drivers from their site:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx

With the drivers installed does it beep when you turn it on? When you install the new drivers plug your monitor into the other display port to see if anything comes up. Check you BIOS when you put your new card in, just mash delete when you start the computer. Look for something like "Default Display Port" and see if it set to PCIe 3.0. If it set to the internal display driver, then that would be the problem, though I don't know why it would just up and change itself like that.

If that's a dead end, create a partition on your hard disk, and install a clean copy of Windows 8 on it. If it still crashes it might be a Windows 8 problem, then try 7. If that still doesn't work then it's definitely a hardware problem or AMD's own driver problem.

Think or do your research before you write stuff like that. All PCI Express cards are fully backwards compatible.

Backwards compatibly only works in one direction, backwards. 1 and 2s will work on a 3, but 3s will not work on a 1 or 2. 3.0 has the highest data saturation of the 3 kinds. So when that 3.0 card dumps more data on a 2.0 slot then it can handle, then it just curls up and cries.

3.0 GPUs will work on 2.0 and even 1.0. Do your research please.

Huh, I stand corrected. Why would they even go to 3.0 if they haven't even saturated 2.0?
