Hey,

So I made a thread yesterday:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1781250/installed-gtx-680-4gb-maintain-power-psu.html

Thankfully you guys were able to help and the card now has power! :D

Unfortunately it's not displaying anything... As far as I can tell it's all booting up correctly (right sounds and such) and if I leave it for a while (so windows has time to boot) and then push the power button it shuts down properly...

Any suggestions / help is appreciated!! Should have PC specs later today so you guys have more info!!

regards,
Dave

IF the mOtherboards has built in video chipset it can be posting to those first. If it is let it boot into windows and install the gpu driver and see if the card comes on as a second monitor. With some older mb and newer gpu the mb bios needs to be updated to fix post issues. If you update the bios there still no post check that the ipgpu not the first video output.

I wanted to try and get it running on the on-board video last night to see if it was booting correctly... Only thing is that all my wife has on the back of her motherboard for video is a VGA with the pins (not the holes)... So I went through all my really old cables to try and find one that went pins to no pins... all of the VGA cables I have are pins to pins... >_> -.-

I've never seen a "male" (ie. with pins) VGA connector on a motherboard. I have seen serial connectors (which have a different function entirely) with similar shape and size - this is likely what you're referencing.

The cable from your monitor will be male (ie. with pins), and the connector on your motherboard will be female (ie. with holes).
Are you certain you have on-board video on this motherboard? If so, take a second look for the proper female VGA connector, or other video-output connector (such as DVI).

This would be easier settled with your build specs (ie. hardware model numbers, etc.), which you mentioned posting later.
