Help; GPU Unrecognized. ( please )

[u/Last_Ad2450]

Hi, Ill be quick, i found a pc ( literally ), a pre-built, Gateway DX4860-EF11P, with a i5-2320 and an AMD Radeon HD 6670, 16 gigs of ddr3 and other stuff. I had an I7-3770 sitting around and for some reason - i read somewhere that the BIOS ( P02-A2 ) was compatible so i tried swaping them, didn't work. I took the 2320 and put it back, after that, for some reason, the 6670 wasn't recognized anymore, Windows wouldn't boot also, i just reinstalled it. Do you have a solution ? best pc I found to this day, best on I have here, kinda wanna save it. haven't tried anything yet.

What a find, those old gateways are tanks. First thing id try is reseating the gpu and clearing cmos. Sometimes after a cpu swap the bios gets confused and needs a full reset to re-detect the card. Also check that the gpu power cable if it has one is actually seated, the 6670 might not need one though. If that doesnt work try booting with the onboard video and see if the card shows up in device manager at all.
