I'm building my first computer and after putting it all together, every time I tried to boot up, I got nothing but a black screen. After playing with some things, I've found it boots up perfectly fine with everything except the MSI GTX 760 OC Twin Frozr VGA card installed. I put the card in and I just get a black screen.

As far as I can tell I've got the card seated in the PCI slot and the power hooked up correctly, but still no luck. I'm using the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard, an Intel i5-4670k processor, G-skill Ripsaw RAM and a Corsair CX-600M power supply. Aside from figuring out its something with the VGA card, I have no clue what the problem could be.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm a newbie to building, so I could just be doing (or not doing) something simple.

Thanks
