I'm extremely new to this.
My motherboard Model is 0KWVT8, and the card is GEFORCE GTX 750 Ti.
Computer is a Dell XPS 8700, and from what I gather Dell's proprietary chips make this a bit of hassle. I ordered the card, plugged it into the chassis, boot up the computer, and... Nothing.
Computer itself works, fans spin on the card, but no video output. Is there some sort of step I missed or did I blow $160 on a pretty paper weight? I reattached my old card and it all works fine. I really hope it's just a power issue.

I'll be honest, I don't believe so.
I've wondered if that might be the problem as my tech savvy friend brought that up as a possible hurdle, but since everything seemed to be whirring and lighting up I assumed the worst.
(Also, thank you for the speedy reply)
