Hello everybody, i got an issue with my brand new graphics card, when i first got it i tried to install it, but my power supply wasnt strong enough, so i bought a new one, with the 6 pin pci conector the card needs, once i got i could install the video card, everything worked fine, now i have a problem, the pc wont boot or beep at all with the video card installed, no bios screen, no nothing.

I use a HDMI port to use my pc in a tv, well, as the pc wont start, the tv still shows the hdmi port as if the pc were on.

But if i install the graphics card without conecting the pci 6pin conector i get to boot, the fans on the video card runs, even faster, but the bios or windows wont detect it as if were conected, which it was. The card shows the green led when its properly conected and the red when its not.

I want to know if my video went bad, or any other guess...

First off, you should NEVER try to run a card without the PCI Express power connectors (if it has them). This could possibly damage the card (from not getting enough power) and the motherboard (trying to supply the card enough power to run). How old are the card and motherboard?
