I recently started having issues with my previous video card's fan (ATI Raedon HD 5670), so I decided to purchase a new one. I settled on a Nvidia GTX 460, which requires a stronger PSU. I was recommended a SeaSonic S12II 520W, both parts arrived today.
The PSU works great, however I cannot get any kind of video signal from the 460 (from neither DVI port, it has no VGA, and I do not have a HDMI). There are no beeps when the computer starts up, the fan works fine, and I hear the win.7 startup sound at the login screen, so it boots just fine. If I use the onboard graphics's VGA connection, it boots normally with display, and the computer still does not detect any hardware changes. I tried to install the Nvidia drivers (GeForce 337.50, 335.23, and a version for dell's model), none of which detected any hardware.
The only unusual thing I've noticed with the card is that it only has one 6-pin port, while most 460s have two. It also has a second connector opposite of the PCI-E, which resembles PCI-E, though only about half an inch long. I checked the model number on the card, and it does match up with the 460.
If it will help any, this is the supplier and card I bought. http://www.ascendtech.us/nvidia-geforce-gtx460-1gb-dual-dvi-mhdmi_i_vidcarddelgr23p.aspx?agent=froogle
Any help would be appreciated, I am at a loss of what to do aside from attempting to return the card, and trying a different supplier.
