So today I just acquired a new msi gtx 970, to upgrade from my aging AMD card. I put the card in and booted it up. Except I can't get past the bios. (I run a lenovo bios FYI) it does its normal beep and then does it again every 30 to 40 seconds. I decided to put the driver disk in, and it got past the bios but now it just shows a black screen. I have tried inserting the card in both my PCI slots and managed to install the drivers but booting up my PC with the old card in aswell. I then took the old card out again and swapped the DVI connector to the gtx, and it wouldn't get past the bios again. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you found a fix? Should I try updating my bios?
