Make sure you have plugged in the 6 pin and 8 pin plug into the GPU.

 

[rabhaw]

yea i have done that but still getting no signal

 

[mattjd]

Have you tried another DVI socket and another DVI cable?

 

[GJ02]

are you 100% sure its seated right in the slot

 

[rabhaw]

tried both dvi sockets in back of card and also tried a different slot still getting no signal

Check your sata cables conections Ect.

Maybe put card in another PCIe slot/another computer. Maybe it is your motherboard.

i have tried different slots so, probably the motherboard has fuked up, just got it today, but thing is my overclock buttons on board light up, lights come on as well cpu fan spins, so does card fan

 

[mattjd]

Go to basics.

PSU, Motherbaord, 1 stick of RAM, HDD and GPU in primary slot.

Make sure all the power leads are in properly.

Reset the motherboard (turn off all overclocks).

If it doesnt boot up test another stick of RAM, if that doesnt work then its either your Motherboard or CPU.

right i tried all the slots with new card and old card, i have not got anywhere with it, i think it may be my motherboard, i have got 1 fan turning on my cpu cooler now

 

[rabhaw]

if it is my motherboard, why do i get lights on it etc, i pluged in all cables i.e power button works reset button works, cpu fans work etc, but just not getting any signal from cards

Remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes, then replace and try to boot.

I had this problem when I bought an MSI mobo and some DDR3, RMA'd the board but it was in fact the ram that was the problem. If you have more than one ram stick then test the sticks individually and in different slots.

hey guys looked at motherboard,where the 24atx connector is it says cpu,dram,gpu,boot
it goes to cpu then it stops at dram with a red light showing
