Hi, i just tried this card in my new pc and i can hear everything start up, there are two lights on which are ext_pwr and t_fault, i dont like the sound of the second one. I have no output to my screen, anyone know what the problem might be?

Did you connect the power cable to the card?

 

[montana]

yes its connected. i guess thats what ext_pwr light is for. but why am i getting t_fault?

Try the card in another PC if possible, but if that's not possible or if the other PC shows the same fault then RMA it as soon as you are able.

Try reseating it in the PCI-E slot. What PSU do you have?

I've never heard of that happening before, but it's made me feel a lot better that I am too lazy bother using that sort of stuff anyway.
