Morning,

 

I had just purchase this unit yesterday and everything run perfect. But I have my own PCI Express nvidia card and notice there is a slot on the motherboard.

I have install it without a problem, beside having that huge connector that is almost next to it which is for the front case accessories (usb....)

 

I did change the power supply to a better one (thermaltake) because i need the extra connector for the video card to power it up.

 

Before hand, I went in the mother board bios and enable the PCI Express and save it. After the installation, power up and nothing it shows me no screen at all. I tried another video card, i have some spare one`s for backup. And again nothing just black screen, i hear the computer running and processing. But no video at all. My cable that goes to my monito to video card is DVI-I on both ends.

 

Here my questions:

1. does this unit support PCI express card? even though there is a slot for it.

2. If yes, is there a only type of video cards it support?

3. Does not like the cable? i tried diffrent with the same connector DVI-I still nothing.

4. Did i miss a setting on the motherboard to activate the PCI slot? yes the bios setting is enable for PCIE

 

Your help is appreciated, it would be nice to know i can use my own type of video card than using the onboard one, because if the onboard even goes out at least I would have alternative to install one.

I had this issue

 

Basicaly, the computer thinks there are two monitors for some reason. Log onto your computer blind and your screen will com up. This happened to me when I installed a GTX 550ti. I still have that weird second monitor problem, and can't access bios without unplugging the GPU, but it runs.
