Hello
Thank you for posting your question
My name is X.X. XXX I will be assisting you with this issue
What I would suggest trying is start up the machine with the lower end graphics card
Then load the drivers for the higher end card.After doing that shut down the machine and install the higher end card again and try starting up.
Do you know if the card requires additional power outside of what is supplied by the motherboard ?
i do not have other card now. no other power needed
i think i loaded drivers when in other card
why would i have a problem when a shop started with this card no problem and without drivers
card has ix 6 pin from psu
The shop was able to get it to work in this system without any issues?
Have you tried booting into the advanced boot menu by continually tapping f8 until when you turn the machine on. Once the advanced boot menu comesup try booting into safe mode.
a shop was able to use the card only on their machine. i have loaded drivers but still no picture.i know by using another borrowed card that the system boots up but no picture with 6790 card. i will try f8 as advised by you.
Were you able to try booting into safe mode?
I cannot get a picture on monitor with 6790 card no matter what I do. The system boots up into windows but no picture, fan on card is working. I have updated the drivers using borrowed card( in same slot). I need the problem solved before paying. or refund me please. I am a pensioner and need help.
Hi,
I used you problem as an example in my A+ course. We checked with the manufacturer and determined that you may not have a big enough power supply to handle the peak draw for the system. A 650W PS is recommended for systems that consistently draw 500W or less. The video Card you selected for your system draws at peak (start up) 249Watts of power which is half of the recommended for your power supply. Using the rule total wattage requirements multiplied by 1.3 would yield a power supply rated for your system. Based on what you stated was in the system, Given the Motherboard, SD Drive Processor/Fan and additional HDD and not taking into account other fans or CD/DVD/BluRay. We feel that the power requirements of the system exceed the power supply's ability to provide consistent power at start up. This is why the system works with a lesser card.
If you feel our answer was appropriate and correct please accept the answer.
I have started computer with ssd and hd drives disconnected also dvd rom drive, but no difference.red light vga on motherboard.
What have you done in the BIOS setup? When you set this system up did you enable Crossfire or NVIDA settings?
If you can get to the BIOS screen under Advanced check the following:
PCI Express X16_3 slot (black) bandwidth [Auto]
Allows you to select the PCI Express X16_3 slot (black) bandwidth.
[Auto] PCIeX16_3 slot runs at X1 mode for system resource optimization. (PCIeX1_2 will be disabled.)
[X4 mode] PCIeX16_3 slot runs at X4 mode for high performance support. (USB3_34, eSATA ports, PCIeX1_1, PCIeX1_2 will be disabled.)
[X1 mode] PCIeX16_3 slot runs at X1 mode with all slots enabled. (USB3_34 will be disabled.)
Since this card worked in another machine and it is PCIe 2.1 which slot do you have the card installed into. Normally you would install the card closest to thwe CPU but with this motherboard that may not be the real case.
On tuesday I updated the BIOS to latest dated 12th april. I have not done anything to the bios. I have tried graphic card in all three slots some time ago. I still have borrowed card and will look at what you written about black slot.and modes. I will be very happy if you solve this and very happy to pay if solved. (I also on tuesday updated the ati catalist for drivers etc..)
i am online waiting if you are ready

ok i will try. i have as you probably read used lesser graphic card and loaded windows with it. when looking into bios it shows correct that i have 2x 4gb. all the same will try now.
try it, even faulty will be shown in biosRemember, if for any reason you are unsatisfied with my answer, we can continue the conversation until you’re satisfied and Accept my answer. I can address follow up questions at no extra charge and I’m always here to help. Thank you for using JustAnswer!

If you can boot the PC with a lesser Video card then your RAM is not the problem.

There is a BIOS update on the Site dated 4/27 http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8P67_PRO/#download
Supposed to fix some issues. When you boot with lesser card, can you set the set the BIOS to minimal settings and install new card. Do you get any kind of screen action at all?
You can try this: A drastic CMOS Refresh to see if this helps
Unplug Power Supply
Hold power button for 10 seconds till capacitors discharge
Remove CMOS Battery
Wait at least 30 Minutes before replacing battery
Restart system with 6070 in place
While system is off, Re seat CPU and RAM inspect sockets for damage
Make sure MB is not touching case anywhere other than back plate
While I still hold to my original theory that the power supply is too small for this card and system, these are the other fixes that I have found for your problem. All PC builds that I have seen online using this configuration seemed concerned about intermittent hangs when using the 650 PSU
Hope this helps.
Can you give me a detailed inventory of everything you have in that system MFR size spec sort of stuff.
i will try 1st .set bios to minimal and insert card.2nd do the cmos not remove battery but with the onboard plug/switch.and chech cpu/ramI have alreadt installed the bios4/27 twice as advised.by asus
ok I should be online most of the day but I am working I want to help you solve this
any progress
removed cmos battery for over 30mins. inspected cpu-seated ok. reset cmos DATE/TIME.On start up motherboard has red lights for cpu/memory/vga/boot. red lights go on for cpu off.memory on/off vga on/off boot on/off then vga red comes on, stays on, and one beep followed by 3 short beeps which means no vga.STILL SAME PROBLEM.I did go online and used power calculator for my system. calculated I needed 438watts.My psu 650w corsaircpu i5 2500kmotherboard asus p8/p67 promemory 2x 4gb=total 8gbgraphics card VTX6790 boot drive ssd ocz 60gbhd 500gb hd 2.5tbdvd writerwindows 7 pro 64 bitwindows office
i am online and will wait for a long time. wonder what is next
ok this has to be something simple that we are missing.... What brand of memory is it that you are using? is there a way to disable that advanced POST checks on the MBJohn Weber, MCSE41040.6873101852
Try this: Make sure that besides the 24-pin ATX power connector, the 4+4P CPU connector from the PSU is connected to the board. If you have two DRAM modules installed, make sure they're located in the light blue DIMM slots. And if you haven't already, try resetting CMOS, then depressing the MemOK button prior to powering on to test RAM compatibility.Remember, if for any reason you are unsatisfied with my answer, we can continue the conversation until you’re satisfied and Accept my answer.

Had a look but could not see way to stop POST. It does it with lesser card also.24Pin and 4+4 pin connectors are secure. have already today reset cmos. memory is in a2 and b2 as asus book.The memory i have is 2x 4gb kingston Hyper 1600mhz but shows on bios as 1300mhz.

Everything I am finding suggest that this combination is a crap shoot to get working. I have read that users with this problem have gone to MSI MBs and are extremely happy. If you are within you RMA period this might be an option for you.I am sorry I couldn't help you out anymore on it but here are a few of my suggestions:Try different RAMTry a regular boot HDD instead of the SSDTry one stick of RAM and move the Video card to each slot to see if you can get into BIOSI hope I have helped a little and wish I could have helped more.

I think this is the end. I will accept answer(pay) and take to computer shop saturday or monday for them to fix. thank you but impossible on this problem so far away. I will advise what the problem was in the near future.John
There was nothing anyone could do to fix "no picture".SHOP COULD NOT MAKE CARD WORK ON MY COMPUTER. the graphics card simply does not work on my computer, but does on others. I have sold the VTX6790 card, and waiting for a grforce gtx 560 card.
Sometimes it is best to go that route. If you have trouble with the new card I would look to the MB as being defective in some way. No matter which way you run this I wish you the best of luck and hope that my answers and help have aided you. Thank you for allowing me to attempt to solve your problem with the Video/MB issues. If you need any further assistance feel free to ask.Thanks again,JohnRemember, if for any reason you’re unsatisfied, we can continue our conversation until you’ve received the information you’re looking for.
