I got a new gpu (GTX 660) and motherboard (Msi h67ma-e45). the motherboard and the GPU and Motherboard both turn on but the GPU does not send a signal to my monitor. I was thinking it was the GPU so I tested out my old GPU (gts 450) and it also did not send anything. so my guess is that the pci on the motherboard is not working. my PSU is 600w and the pc only shows wen I connect the dvi to the motherboard and use the integrated graphics. Any help would be fine Thank you.

In bios have you disabled igp? Also Try these tips. Thsi was borrowed from another forum and may help

1) Disconnect GPU from mobo.Connect monitor into onboard video port
2) Reset your BIOS through jumper. Turn On
3) Now Boot your computer with Internal memory mode,remove all drivers and disable the onboard GPU in device manager, restart
4) Now in BIOS,video configuration set as PCI-E External. save and turn-off
5) PLug the card, dont just screw it. Insert it such a way it seats well and the PCIe lock level locks the card. Make sure it is inserted fully.
6) Remove all other devices except your HDD, such as DVD or chassis fan, etc. Just to make sure the power is not an issue
7) Now connect your monitor to GPU port and turn on. First see if monitor goes to standby or not. If not, then it could be a dead GPU/connector issue.
8) Turn on PC and press Bios enter key such as F1 and check boot up screen comes up. Please dont boot to windows. If it fails in detection at Bios, no use in logging to windows. It has nothing to do with your GPU.

If these methods fail, you might need to swap another card into yours and then do similar testing. Post the results. Will see
