MSI GTX 660 install problems - suggestions please?

[GM2]

Bought a whole load of new components and been putting them together, but can't seem to get the graphics card to work...

System includes Gigabyte Z77-D3H and the MSI.

Without the MSI fitted, the integrated graphics work fine.

Tried my old 8800 GT and that works fine too.

So, any ideas why the GTX 660 isn't working? The fans turn, but seemingly no output.

Do I need to install drivers first? Is there something else? Or, could I have a duff card?

Thanks

What order is your graphics order in the bios?
If the integrated graphics are ahead of the card then you won't see anything from the card.

Need to check. But if I put the card in, I don't seem to get anything no matter where the monitor is plugged in.

I'll check BIOS...

OK, checked the BIOS, changed the primary display from 'auto' to 'PCI' - hasn't made any difference.

If it was a BIOS setting, why does the 8800 work?

Any more thoughts anyone?

update the board to the most recent bios revision

As said above

You must flash the bios of the motherboard to the most recent version

Then there will be output

Yes! But worth checking!
