Hi:

I just purchased a new Asus ROG Matrix 7970. I have installed all the wires and connectors. But when I start my rig, all I can see is the blue light on the graphics card but no display. I believe that this is dead on arrival. I haven't tried it on a friend's PC yet. I am thinking to do so soon. But in the meantime can anyone think of any other reason why this might be the case?

My specs are:

Core i7 2600K
Gigabyte Z77D3H
8GB Corsair DDR3 RAM
Corsair GS800 PSU
 
Solution
If the rig works with your previous card, I would be inclined to say its DOA as well.
Stick it in another machine and see if it works there, that's what will ultimately tell you one way or another.
