Ok, so I recently asked for opinions on what gpu to get and that was resolved. I went with a HD6670 by XFX since my cpu is slightly old and I didn't want to push it too far. Also upgraded psu to corsair 430w as requirements for card said 400w. PSU install was easy. Turned comp on and it works perfectly. Then I disabled onboard graphics, powered down and started installing the new gpu. I made sure I was properly grounded at all times. After installing new card into the pcie x 16 slot I turned it back on and monitor said no signal but the fan on the gpu was running. Not quite wide open but turning pretty fast. So I connected vga to the onboard again and still no signal. Turned pc back off, took out new card, powered on and monitor worked just fine. I have search the internet for similar problems and it seems people experiencing this had the gpu work for months prior to getting no signal. So, I called the company and they are sending a replacement in case it is a defective card. I could not install drivers for the card as it was not installed or monitor wasn't working when it was installed. My question is, did I forget to do something? Or does anyone have an idea what I should do? Thinking of taking it into best buy when replacement gets here if I can't get it resolved this weekend. Link below to comp info. It's older and slow please don't laugh too much lol. Thanks in advance
