So I got bought a used GTX 770 (Which turns out its a Rev 1) on Ebay - got it today and looks to be in perfect shape. I took out my GTX 770 Rev 2 and plugged in the Rev 1 to make sure the card works. Fans spin, card looks to be working fine but bios never shows up and never loads OS, monitors stay black. Any idea as to what's going on? Also my SLI connector arrives in the mail today so I'll be able to boot in with my Rev 2 and see if they connect once loaded into OS.

Any idea as to why the Rev. 1 card wont boot but spins all fans? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: All cables connected properly, tried HDMI as well - still nothing.

Do you have a motherboard video out? Try that to see if the computer boots at all.
Then try with both cards plugged in, you don't need an SLI connector to boot with two, only to make them work together. If you can get it to boot try to see if the computer recognizes both cards. If it only recognizes one or doesn't boot still then it's probably faulty.
You confirmed that it will still boot with the rev2 card correct?

My SLI adapter knocked on the door right after posting. Plugged both cards in and they are both recognized and in SLI. Whew. Thanks for responding!

I forgot to mention my 6 to 8 pin adapter also came with the SLI adapter so now I have them both hooked up and working fine
