Usually when it comes to RAM you're supposed to adjust your voltage to get the advertised speed and timings. Adjusting the speed and timings first is like unnecessary overclocking.

Okay guys, I'm having a bit of a problem I'm hoping you can help with. I finally got my new graphics card in the mail. I uninstalled the drivers for the old one, even going as far as to remove it from the device manager. I install the new card, plug in the 6 pin power cord, and turn everything on. The monitor takes a while to come on, and when it does all I get is a gray box that says "Input not supported". I tried it several times but still the same issue. One of those times the picture did come up for a split second, then it just went to the box again. Old GPU works fine. Is there something I could have done wrong or should I just go ahead and RMA it as defective?
This is the GPU I bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...scrollFullInfo
And this is my motherboard: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...ctID=c01701270
As far as I can tell, it should be compatible.
Your resolution is either too high or the refresh is too high or both.
Boot in safemode and set the adjustments there and then reboot.
I'm not sure what you mean. I'm still using the same monitor and software video works fine. When I plug the new GPU in I can't get it to show a picture at all. Just the gray box.
You say you're using a new GPU.Quote:

Do what i said above and see how it goes.
Yeah but, that assumes I can get into Windows at all. I haven't even made it that far. I just get a black screen as soon as I turn the power on.
Guys, he can't even see the POST.
Yo, just plug the card into another PC and turn it on. If you get the grey screen again, you know the GPU is borked.
I would if I had one :\
Plug the old card back in and start from the beginning. Before shutting down to take the card out, make sure you set the resolution to something low.
I'm looking for some advice on building my first rig. My budget is $1000 and I'll be using GTX 560 SLI later when I have more money saved for a second card. This is my current build so far.
Mobo: Gigabyte Intel Z68
Graphics: EVGA GTX 560 (Planning on buying a second one for SLI)
PSU: Corsair 750W
Processor: Intel i5-2300 Sandy Bridge
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw Series 8GB (I'm contemplating if I should go 6GB just to save a few bucks :P)
HDD: Western Digital 500GB 7200 RPM
Monitor: Hannspree 21.5"
Optical Drive: Sony CD/DVD burner (I'm a Sony whore)
Case: Sentey Optimus Extreme Division Tower (Not sure if I should with this one instead)
That's pretty much it. I'm open to any suggestions as long it stays within my budget. :)
