Hi everyone, I just completed my first build. I got all excited because the computer turned on. However, the monitor for some reason isn't detecting the gpu.
This is the gpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

This is the mobo

I have ensured all of the connections are on correctly. This gpu doesn't need a 6pin connector so I know it isn't that.
Please help, I am a noob at this and if this thing doesn't work it's going to be a very disheartening experience

I was reusing one from a previous computer to save money. I actually reused the hard drive as well, so it should have the video cards drivers and the OS and everything on it as well. Could the card have just "gone bad" after sitting for 3 years?
