Msi afterburner hd6450 issue

[Nostalewk]

So I have a levono m91p desktop I got the msi afterburner radeon hd 6450 card installed it and getting not signal my bios is set to auto detect so I changed it to only detect my onboard graphics to see what's going on it goto my device manager and I believe my card is reading as other device pci serial port I have to install CD for the gpu and tried just installing the drivers from it and still nothing I'm so confused and I'm not some tech savvy guy but from what I seen you should be able to just install the hardware and install the driver

Hi,

where did you buy the GPU?, not from China I hope as most of them are fake and use a driver disk that suits the flashed BIOS of the GPU but are a completely different model!.

In BIOS, did you set it to use PCIE and did you put the GPU in the first PCIE slot (the one at the top when looking at the motherboard from the side) as there might be more than one PCIE slot on the mobo!.

Idk where best buy gets them honestly

Thhers only one pci slot and no I didnt set bios to pci

Thhers only one pci slot and no I didnt set bios to pci

Ok I went into my bios went to devices video setup and this is what's in it idg,peg,pci, and auto I have it set to igd as my msi gpu is in the computer and if I have it on auto it will read that gpu is in but wont show any picture for the msi gpu

no I didnt set bios to pci

That is where you need to start!.

Set it to PCI and connect the monitor to the GPU not the onboard graphics, you might get a message that the monitor is "Out of range", open the monitor menu and reset it if that happens!.

Ok do I install both crimson and catalyst

Oh forgot to mention idk if it matters I dont own a monitor I'm using my 3 year old son's older hdmi tv but I'm looking to use my 60 inch 4k Samsung smart tv

 

[Nostalewk]

Ok I didnt install the drivers yet but tried pci it didnt work then I tried the peg and still no signal

Hi Nostalewk,

it might be that as you are using a Smart TV, the screen resolution set on your computer is too low and that is why you are not getting a signal?. What type of cable are you using to connect to the TV, an HDMI or VGA cable?.

 

[Nostalewk]

Hdmi I cant find the vga adapter that gos with the gpu

 

[Wolfie]

What make and model is the TV?, if we can determine that, it might help solve your problem!. Does the TV have settings to change the resolution?, if it does, put the Radeon GPU back in the computer and change the TV screen resolution until it picks up the signal from the computer!.

 

[Nostalewk]

It has a custom resolution in settings but I never used it it's a samsung 4k ultra hd tv idk what model

It has a custom resolution in settings but I never used it it's a samsung 4k ultra hd tv idk what model

Samsung nu6900 I think is the model

 

[Nostalewk]

Samsung nu6900 I think is the model

Ok so custom I guess is kind of useless it doesnt let you change resolution just zoom and move the screen left to right. Other picture size settings for tv is standard 16:9 and 4:3

That model has Computer setting according to the following link:

Samsung NU6900 Calibration Settings

These are the settings we used to calibrate the Samsung 55 inch UN55NU6900 TV and we expect them to be valid for the 43 inch version (UN43NU6900), 50 inch version (UN50NU6900), 65 inch version (UN65NU6900) and 75 inch version (UN75NU6900).

Scroll down to "PC Monitor Settings" and have a look!.

 

[Nostalewk]

I wonder if a connection must be made I found a pc setting but it doesnt look like that it's just screen sharing in the connection guide area

 

[Nostalewk]

Ok figured it's out still no signal now I shut down and changed bios and made it boot up as vga and checked device manager and it's not showing my card

 

[Wolfie]

Did you connect the computer with a VGA cable or are you still trying to use the HDMI cable?, I would get a VGA cable if I were you and it should work!.

 

[Nostalewk]

Using hdmi I cant find the vga Adapter that came with the card to hook it up is it possible that the reason my computer isnt reading the card is because theres no drivers for it installed?
