Hi guys, here to ask for help yet again. Hope you guys can help me with this issue. Not sure if this is the right place to post this thread.
Long story short, my previous GC (Radeon HD 6850) burnt off alr, so robbed my brother's one (exactly the same) to plug onto my rig. But the funny thing is, when I plug it into the x16 PCIe port and boot up my rig, the GC fan starts running which I assume it means its is in play. But my com doesn't detect any graphics cards or new devices under device manager.
So tried to troubleshoot, realised that the 6-pin PCIe connector is unplug. And when I plug it in, my com shuts down immediately and doesn't boot up unless it is unplugged.
What could be the reason for this? Puzzling that the same GC can have diff behavior.
*also my previous GC has 2 off 6-pin PCIe connector as compared to my brother's one which only has 1.
