Can anybody tell me why when I plug

this

into the PCI-Express X1 socket of this

http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=236&model=787&modelmenu=1

I get nothing reporting in windows as "new hardware". Just seems that the Tuner card is totally dead. Checked in the Device Manager and there is nothing. Am I missing something really simple? Its defo drawing power as the card gets warm.

I have a graphics card in the top PCI-EXPRESS x16 port and a sound card and network card in the bottom two pci slots.

Any help would be grateful. If I cant solve this soon im going to have to buy two blackgold tuner cards and I would rather not. But I aint confident enough just to reorder this card as Im worried its just not compatabile with the moterhboard. I have never had a failed card before so im guessing i am doing something wrong.

Cheers
 
If you only have 1x gfx card, then it has to go in the Blue slot (gfx card), and the MVP Switch card goes into the top slot (black), not to sure why it doesn't appear as ive only just got this board (4 days ago), is there not a setting the BIOS for it maybe. :)
