I turned off my PC, and upgraded my radeon 7850 2gb to a gtx 770 4gb card. So I turn it on with my new card in and I get no display! My keyboard and mouse dont light up either. I open up the case and the CPU_LED light on my asus m5a99fx pro 2.0 motherboard is solid red. (CPU is fx-8350 and ram is g skill ripjaw 2x8gb 1600) I turn everything off and pop my radeon card back in and have the same problem!

So I try the radeon card which i knew was working in my old system just to be sure, and it works fine. I then swap around parts one at a time, taking them from my old PC to try and isolate the problem in my new PC. Nothing changes. OK, so at that point I just wanted to get back on my old PC and do some work. Put the parts back in, and it has the same issue as the new PC!

The old PC has a rosewill stallion 500w (had since summer)

The new PC has a rosewill lightning 1300w (had since the start of the holidays)

Make sure you have all of the power cables connected properly. I believe the 770 uses two 6 pin pci-e power cables? Just the first thing I would check myself.
