I've just finished building my first computer, and when I attempt to boot it up with everything (including the graphics card) installed, there is no video output. It appears to be running; both fans are spinning as normal. When I removed the card and attempted to boot it again, it went to the BiOS as normal. Does this indicate that the graphics card is dead, or something else?

Can you try the graphics card in another system? If it doesn't work in another system then you've found the problem.

I've tried plugging the display cable into both the video card and the motherboard, and neither work when the card is installed

I sadly don't have a working computer to test it on right now. Are there any other ways to test the card?

Okay, well, thank you for your help
 


All I can say is check to make sure that the graphics card is fully seated into the PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard during installation.
