I am trying to install my new msi radeon r6950 twin frozr iii

However when I install it and turn my pc on it makes 9 bleeps and black screen, no signal.

It seems to power up fine. I have connected one pin to it.

Before installing the new GPU I uninstalled my old Nvidia Drivers.

I haven't done this before but I have watched a lot of videos and read guides. I am completely stuck.

  • I don't know how to reset a video card, <edit> but I did try taking it out and putting it back in quite a few times.. Upon googling reset graphics card it seems I done it by accident. The first beep is somewhat long the rest are very quick

  • You need to reseat the card not reset it. You did what exactly by accident? What does the manual for your motherboard say the beep code means?

BioStar's beep codes are listed here:

The closest thing looks like a video adapter issue. One thing I would recommend is resetting the CMOS on your motherboard in case there is a bad setting conflicting with the new adapter. If this doesn't clear the error, remove all other adapter cards and just boot CPU, RAM and Video. That particular card requires a 500W power supply minimum so if you are running other high wattage hardware this may be causing the video card to not receive enough power. I would recommend testing another lower wattage video adapter if your problems persist to see if it is a power issue if all else fails.
