Hey guys,
Recently I fitted a GELID ICY VISION-A to my Reference Radeon HD 7970, when installed it again it didn't work properly, and by that I mean, I assume the PC didn't boot. When my PC boots to windows you can hear the hard drive and a single (short) motherboard beep, this doesn't occur with the card installed nor do I get any signal on my monitor.
I tried a lower PCI-E slot with no success.
I then dusted off my 5850 and tried that, which seemed to work fine.
I don't have access to another build to test the 7970 in, so I'm unsure if I may have killed it somehow (mis-handled it?) during the cooler upgrade.
What are my options from here?
Other Specs:
Intel i5-2500k
Gigabyte GA-Z77x-D3
8gb Ram
Corsair HX-750
Windows 7
