so my computer randomly shut off last night while i was jsut watching netflix. it wouldn't even boot the bios so i took that little battery out and it started to boot, but only on default graphics. So I went into the bios to set the default graphics option to the PCIE x16 and saved and reset. it still doesn't boot to the graphics card, it is inserted correctly and fans spin up and LED comes on but nothing on screen. switch over to the on board graphics and it works fine. Restart and enter BIOS and it still says that the default graphics is auto. I have a asus Z97-e motherboard (not USB 3.1). Thanks for any help you can provide.

Alrighty, i saw that it wasn't in the manager so i took another look at the card. It has a 6pin+2 and a second 6pin, the +2 part was barely out and i plugged it in and restarted. It worked :) thanks for the help! hopefully i wont run into more problems. :p
