Hey guys,
I sold my old GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost) to my friend, because I was getting a new GPU (the one from my signature).
Now we tried upgrading his old GPU (GTS 450) to my GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost) on my friends PC, but we came to the conclusion we didn't have enough pins and the PSU wasn't powerful enough for this GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost).
So we bought a brand new PSU (Corsair VS550) and installed that, connected everything, everything was fitting and did some tests.
It was working perfectly, but only with the old GPU (GTS 450). The PSU installation was working, but the new GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost) was not.
The problem was that with my GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost) installed it didn't output a display signal.
Though, we did notice that the fan of my GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost) was working.
Does anyone know what the problem may be?
Some more info/tests:
The display drivers are uninstalled with DDU before.
We tried to connect the new GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost) on a monitor and on a TV, both in combinations with HDMI and DVI cables.
However, it didn't work. It only worked with the old GPU (GTS 450).
With the new GPU (HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost) installed, the PC seems to act fine (stays on), but only no display signal.
The specs of the PC:
- PC: Medion Akoya A622 (prebuild)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 (prebuild)
- RAM: 2x4GB RAM (modified)
- PSU: Corsair VS550 (modified)
- MOBO: MS-7707 (prebuild)
- GPU: GTS 450 (old GPU) / HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost IceQ Boost (new GPU).
Pictures of the setup with the GTS 450: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AipU60UY7qygjEQQPblT0oh7Blko.
We think either the GPU (hd 7950 IceQ Boost) got stuck, or our motherboard isn't compatible  .
Tell me what you think, or maybe you know the solution.

two options:
a) you destroyed your old gfx card when you pulled it out of your system/or during transport
b) the mainboard doesnt like the gfx card. prebuild oem system (especially these old ones) can be very picky
i would go for b. you can test a if you put it again into your system.
check out the medion page if there is a bios update available and flash it. might help, might not. but thats the only thing you can do

just googled, its indeed a common problem with that oem board. either reflash the ati card with a gop vbios which worked for many medion systems to make them work (some reporting it didnt worked in combination with that mobo though) or try to find out which msi board that is and google if its possible to crossflash a bios from the msi board (could be the MSI H61M, dunno). though i would first look if medion has a newer bios for that board than it has atm

is the only bios version available from medion (german site, but shouldnt be a problem). but please do not flash under windows like it says in their doc. boot from a dos-disk or usb-stick with dos on it. but i fear that wouldnt change a thing.
the problem is the card is pci express 3, the board only 2. normally that doesnt matter, but those oem boards are very picky sometimes. hence the solution with flashing a gop vbios on the gfx card as solution which might work. or even crossflashing the mobo to the msi one (which may work, maybe not).
new board could be a solution yes, but only if you get one for 20 bucks. everything else is a waste for that system

the correct parameter to change the drive within dos is simply "X:" not "X:\", nor "CD X:" or something else
