Hi guys i'm wandering if any of you can help me. i built a rig and everything is working perfectly until i try to install the Graphics card. every time i insert the graphics card the pc will not boot up. i have tried changing the PSU and i have also tried a different slot on the mobo. i do not think it is my system itself as it is working with a different graphics card. all your help is greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this.

please see below my PC specs:

AMD FX-Series FX-8350

ASUS M5A97-LE-R2.0

GSkill 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Memory

Club 3D AMD Radeon HD 7870 tahiti

Corsair CX600 600W 80+ gaming grade PSU

Hi there yes I uninstalled the old drivers completely and tried plugging the New card in and there was no picture. The only way I can get any picture is by using an old graphics card as there is no onboard graphics but there is 2 pcie slots

I uninstall all the nvidia drivers using a third party application "revo uninstaller" this helped me alot.
