Recently moved my setup to a new apartment and my monitors no longer get a signal from my 560ti. The card is on and functioning and I can hear the windows booting but no picture to either of my monitors.

I've swapped cables and tried with a single monitor but no go. I've also connected my laptop to each monitor and duplicated the display so I'm fairly certain they're not at fault either. Any help?

Firstly check that the card is seated in a dust free lane and is not sagging on the Mobo too much, secondly (more important part) open up windows when you boot (plug one monitor into your Motherboard vga/hdmi/dvi (whatever it has) to do this, then once you can see the bios (usually brought up by pressing delete) then you can check what your preferred GPU is, you may find that it has selected the GPU as the integrated motherboard GPU or the GPU from your processor, make sure to select this to the 560 ti, and be sure to try each port on the 560 ti, including the DVI / HDMI / Mini Display, sometimes my 560 ti decides to swap things up a bit, hence why you might need to test another slot on the card to see if it is sending video through that instead.
