Graphics Card Fan Not Working: PC Beeps when Connected to Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7850, BIOS Flash

Hello,
I assembled the computer myself (for the first time) and it was not without problems.
Everything works fine until I connect the fan from the graphics card, then the computer does not turn on at all (there is only a short beep).
If the fan turns off, everything works fine, the card also works, unless I play, for example, the recently released Settlers, after about 2-3 hours. shuts down in an emergency.
I flashed the bios again and it didn't help either and I don't know much about it at all. Maybe it's not getting enough electricity, I don't know.

I uploaded Windows yesterday because I had xp and I thought maybe because of this, but it's something rather with not played components.

I think that's it and I hope I described it well.
Of course, if I don't play games, I can function in this way, but if the graphics card has an additional connection for cooling, it would work and I don't want to burn it.
I thought maybe my power supply or graphics card is too weak, but before I decide to change anything, I'd rather change the right thing because it costs money.

Regards and thank you very much for your help.

Check if the graphics card fan is working.
Maybe the fan or the cable that powers it has a short circuit and this is the cause of the problems.

But why did you disconnect the fan on the card? Did you buy art from Ikea?

After assembling the computer did not want to start and I was thinking until I disconnected the fan from the card. i just tried everything.
IKEA was not needed!
So it only then surprised and booted up normally, that's how it stayed until now.

the fan works, like a connection before starting the computer, the fans start, but then the computer does not start.

How do you check if the fans are working before turning on the computer?

I connect the VGA cable to the graphics card, it's the only one that fits and I turn on the computer. The fans turn on but there is one short beep and that's it. Does not boot the system.

Added after 50 [seconds]:

then there is no picture at all

Added after 11 [minutes]:

now I remember when I installed the drivers it was info. that it installed correctly but there was some minor glitch. I've tried it once on XP and twice on Win7 and it's the same each time. I have the drivers from the CD included with the purchase, try to download the same from the net?

Was there anything else written about this bug? Maybe it was "driver lost ..... but recovered"?

no, just that it installed correctly but there was some error during the installation. a report was added and here it was also empty because I wanted to see what the problem was but there was nothing there.

You turn on the computer without the graphics card fans connected - it's ok.
You connect the fans - the system does not turn on, which means that you either connect the fans incorrectly or they are out of order and in both cases they may overload the power supply, which causes it to turn off.
What do controllers have to do with connecting fans?

I don't know what they have in common, I just want to give as much detail as possible about what was occurring. Like I said, I don't know much about it.
So the graphics card is probably damaged?

i.e. fans

Added after 6 [minutes]:

but then shouldn't it work at all?

Have you tried installing a new fan? If not try it. To make sure the card is working.

They have, when you install the system, the graphics fans work at maximum speed, after installing the drivers, the speed is lowered and gradually increased at a higher temperature, i.e. something controls them. At least on HD4850 and GTX470

Is the plug with fans single or double sided? Maybe you put it backwards.

The system doesn't seem to boot with the fans plugged in...
And I asked about their correct connection.

We write about drivers, bad connection of fans, and damage to the fans should also be taken into account. Maybe they have a short circuit?

Let the author of the post install new fans and write if the fault has disappeared.

I undressed it now to keep an eye on it, but I checked it and it cannot be connected in any other way, on the one hand there is a latch with the other way around it just does not go.
I don't know how else I could connect because there are no other cables to fit. According to the instructions, I had to connect the VGA cable and so I did, the only one that fits.
the fans are built into the card so I don't know how to replace them, ok maybe you can buy new ones or something and then replace them.
As I wrote earlier, after connecting, they spin, but then the system is not started and the computer is suspended. All other fans start as well but sys does not load.
Other than that, all others work.
I have the connection from the power supply directly to the fans.

Some problem with the card (or the fans themselves/their power connector) or with the PCI-E connector.

Wasn't it under warranty? Did you buy a used one? Post pictures of it if you can - as clear as possible - from both sides. If it's not under warranty, it would be a good idea to disassemble the cooler and show what's under it.
Additional question: if you bought the board used, did you reset its settings - jumper or remove the battery (with the power off) - before starting with this HD 7850?

ufeck, the card may also be damaged and that's why this can happen.

If you can, just to be sure, borrow a card from someone and put it on. Check if the system boots normally. If it starts, it means that your card is damaged.

In this case, return the card for warranty repair or possibly replace it with a new one.

The card is definitely damaged.

ok great thanks for the info.
I wasn't sure if it was the card or if I missed something, but I checked everything multiple times and it's fine.
I'll find someone to check it out.
The card and all other components are new from the store, also if something is a guarantee.
Finally, I would have 2 short questions so as not to open a new thread.

The graphics card I have, as I read today here on the forum, is unprofitable?
What in the whole package above could be used better?
It all cost a bit, but a layman learns from mistakes, right?

Regards and thanks

The first thing is a newer cpu without integration, which costs PLN 100 less, but now it's nothing to assume, as you bought it, you bought it.

Then you have the most grounds to advertise the card. Do it, it's a waste of time and nerves. I hope you haven't unscrewed anything in it yet?

Not everything they write on the forum (with all due respect!) should be approached uncritically. And especially in the section: "What to buy?"

no, of course I didn't break anything.
If I had a used one or something like that, I can play and so I wanted to make sure that it was definitely a problem with the card.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

ufeck is this way of connecting the fans provided by the manufacturer, or did you connect it just for the duration of the tests, and the standard connector for the fans is on the graphics card?

Meanwhile you ask:

In light of the above quotes, I understand that ufeck first he tried with the card fans normally plugged into the card - as the manufacturer intended. It clearly stated that it was brand new. Have you seen solutions for a brand new card to have fans connected to an external power supply, and not plugged into the card? Only then, trying other solutions, he unhooked the fans. After unplugging them, as I understand it: he did not connect them to the power supply at all. He wrote that the power supply has cables for connecting the fans, probably just to outline the possibilities, because those connectors do not match the fan plugs from the card. Correct, ufeck ?

exactly, after a few tries, I disconnected the card fan from the power supply and started the computer normally.
The fan can only be connected as specified by the manufacturer, directly to the power supply, it is not possible to connect to the motherboard, there are no such connections.

Answering your question - I saw, I heard that others also:

The fan can only be connected as specified by the manufacturer, directly to the power supply , you can't under the motherboard, there are no such connections.

ufeck if you have a multimeter, check what current the fans draw during operation.
Everything points to their damage, since when connected directly to the power supply, they load it so much that it does not start.
The card itself looks good, since without the fans the computer starts, and you can play until the graphics overheat.
Anyway, fans are components of the graphics card, and since the card is under warranty, advertise it.

I was in the store today to replace the card, after checking it turned out that the store also could not run the computer, so they did nothing with me and I can't say what exactly was the reason.
However, everything points to a short circuit or something.

Thanks for your help and best regards
