Aurora R4 Upgrading to GTX 970

[Codex]

Hey, sorry if this has been discussed before but,

I am trying to upgrade my Aurora R4 to a GTX 970. When I put in the card and try and boot up the computer, I get no input to any monitors and I get 5 beeps. No idea how to fix this. Please help.

Ask any questions if you need to know the specs and I'll try to answer them.

I upgraded my R4 to Dual GTX-780's and had the same issue. Once I upgraded my BIOS I had zero issues!

I installed 2 970s in mine and they worked fine.

My ALX is the late 2011 model all i did was install an SSD 250 GB and swapped out the AMD GPUs with the new GTX 970s and fired it up. I had no error codes or issues, I installed the drivers for the new GPUs and the upgrades made a world of difference. All my components were factory OEM until I added the SSD and GPUs.
