Do any psu adapters work with a baker motherboaed

@mauman5,

Good to hear from you!

Please go to timestamp 13:53 where the gentleman shows how to access the brackets: How to Upgrade a HP Envy Desktop TE01 Into a Real Gaming Machine | Before after Benchmarks - YouTube. (once you flip the top brace, the bracket(s) should pull straight out, unless they each have a retainer screw which you'll have to remove first.)

By the way, when using an ATX 24-pin to SATA power sync adapter card, you leave the original power supply unit where it is, including all its power cables connected to your motherboard, because this power supply is powering everything except your graphics card.

The ATX 24-pin power supply is supposed to be parked outside your desktop to the side or behind like this:

You see two externally parked ATX power supplies because there are two HP Pro 6300 desktops placed on both corners on this side of the 'gaming table'.

The ATX power supply's 24-pin power cable is connected to the ATX 24-pin to SATA power sync adapter card and the ATX's PCIe 6+2 / 8-pin power cable(s) should be connected to your graphics card.  And one of your motherboard's 15-pin SATA power connectors should be connected to your ATX 24-pin to SATA power sync adapter card.

That should do it -you're welcome to provide some pictures of your setup for me to check.

Kind Regards,

@mauman5,

By the way, I used these square metal stands on which I placed my external power supply units (secured on the corners with little squares of self-adhesive Velcro): TenFuju 6" Small Metal Duty floor Potted Plant Stand Flower Pot Holder with Saucer Indoor Outdoor Ru....  If you are interested, Amazon has them available under "See All Buying Options".

I plugged everything in and everything powers on fine. Everything is spinning and on but it won’t display anything on my monitor,

Already switched where the hdmi cable was a couple times but it’ll only work with the motherboard

@mauman5,

All right, let's troubleshoot this step by step as I would do it if you don't mind.

A.) Make sure all of your original power supply's power connections to your motherboard are plugged in securely.

B.) Make sure your primary drive's SATA power and data connectors are plugged in securely.

C.) Please look at the yellow circles I drew.  What are they, and they should not dangle above your CPU cooling fan.

D.) Please look at the red circle, your ATX 24-pin to SATA power sync adapter card.  See if you can secure it so that there is no chance of it touching your motherboard or any other metal parts.

E.) Please look at the blue circle.  Your picture shows that your graphics card needs two PCIe 8-pin power connectors. From what I see, it looks like it is connected with one PCIe 8-pin into-two 8-pin power connectors.  If your external power supply happens to have a second independent 8-pin PCIe power connector, I would strongly recommend using that.  At this point in time, I don't think that is the cause of your issue, but it should be mentioned.

F.) Plug in your monitor to your motherboard's HDMI video output.

G.) Download the freeware utility program "DDU" from here: Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 18.0.5.1 (guru3d.com).  Scroll down until you see this:

Choose one of the DDU download sites. Doesn't really matter which one. Should download the file like this:

Right-click on this file and select "Extract All...".  This will take you to a new window, and click "Extract". Then left-click twice on the unzippered file, and then right-click on "DDU v18.0.5.1" (or whatever version you see) and select "Run as Administrator".

Answer "Yes" if your PC asks if you want to allow the following program to make changes". It then asks where you want to extract it. Just stick to the default entry, press "Extract". Then you'll see a new "DDU v18.0.5.1" folder, see picture below.  Left-click twice on it, then right-click on the "Display Driver Uninstaller" and choose "Run as administrator".

If your PC asks you to allow this program to make changes to your computer, click "Yes". Next, the DDU program informs you what you are about to do, click "OK".

Next warning is that you are not in Safe Boot Mode. We don't want to use Safe Mode, so simply press "OK".

Next, click the "Options" located top-left. In the options, click on the option "Prevent downloads of drivers from Windows Update when Windows search for a driver for a device" and press "Close".

Select device type (GPU) and Select device (whatever shows up).

Select "Clean and restart". Wait for the process to finish, DDU will automatically remove the drivers and reboot your machine.

With your desktop scrubbed from video drivers, download and install your graphics card drivers:

If you have a Nvidia graphics card: Official Drivers | NVIDIA: select precisely what GPU you have, for example (select what you have):

Click on "SEARCH", then "DOWNLOAD", and then install.  Hopefully the software will "see" your graphics card and make it work.

At this point, switch your HDMI video cable from your motherboard to your GPU, and you should have a video feed from your MSI graphics card.

[ In case you have an AMD graphics card: AMD Drivers and Support | AMD: select precisely what GPU you have, for example (select what you have):

Click on "SUBMIT", then choose your operating system, download, and install. ]
