Think i just killed my GTX 570..

i installed my GTX 570.

Fired up a game for the first time. (Crysis 2)

the screen goes black and the fan ramps up to 100% with no signal..

turned off the computer and turned back on.. the fan goes to 100% imediatly.

and still no signal..

 

first,calm down.
power off everything.

now,how many amps your PSU has rated for the 12V ?

 

+46 amps.

 

I put the card i second PCI-E slot.

same thing..

 

try reseting your bios

 

you did have a picture in windows before you started the game.
reset the cmos or take the battery out for a few seconds. were you trying to oc your cpu or gpu?

 

Unplug and reboot.

IF this dont work, reset Cmos and reboot.

P.S. Your PSU is crap IMO.

 

My psu is based on the OCZ ZS series. which is quite good.

 

I'll clear CMOS, and see what happens.

 

my motherboards onboard LCD says "A3"

the fan speed ramped down..

still no signal..

 

look in your m/b manual for the error code

 

says nothing about A3.

 

a3 is ide enable. turn pc off and check all connections looking for loose wires.
try unplugging hd and see if you can post

 

Recheck every connection on GPU 6-8 pin. Mobo 24pin and 8 pin.

Be sure that there are no short anywhere cause its since you installed the GPU. You may have moved something.

 

how do i check for shorts?

 

Could also try resetting your ram and cpu.

 

i can run fine on My i5 2500k's On board HD 3000.

 

Do you have another system to try the 570 in?

 

No, i don't :/

 

With your eyes

Loook, check if there is a cable you have moved, check if everything if corerectly plugged. Ive seens a lots of people installed new hardware with issue like this and 90% of the time, they just moved something accidently or they forgot to put some power connector back on, like the CPU 8pin.

Or they are not inserted correctly, loose cable on connector.
