Hello, so i bought a MSI GTX 770 that doesnt get detected by my motherboard.

My setup:
MSI mobo z68 g43 (not sure if thats it) 1155 socket
Cooler master bronze 80 - 750 watt
I7 2600 3.4 ghz 2nd generation
16 gb ram 1600 mhz (corsair)
3 hard drives of 2.0 tb and 1 ssd of 128 gb

So when i plug in the gpu and i power up the fans spin but the monitor doesnt detect anything n stays blank (off) but the integrated gpu works i tried both pci-e slots on my mobo didnt work but the card works on all other mobos. Except mine but the fans do spin and according to nvidia live support fans use the pci-e power so i thought okay it might be my psu but if its my psu wouldnt all of it be broken coz i tried all 4 cables that connect the pins and non of em worked. I reset my cmos updated bios reinstalled windows but nothing drivers and at management adapters the nvidia card isnt detected. I removed mobo battery set the bios up to detected pci e before integrated but nothing worked it just wont be detected.

Were you using another graphics card previously?

For the PCIe power plugs on the card, all pin holes must be filled.

All pin holes are filled and yes i had a gtx 660 ti before that and then removed the 660 for the 770

Put the 660 Ti back in and if it works the 770 might be dead.

Pull out a PSU from one of your other PCs, and use it to run the 770 on the board that's having problems.
