I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 950 graphics card and its fan starts up when I turn on the pc, but it stops shortly after (about 10 seconds after) and doesn't spin at all. It is brand new and I haven't even installed any operating system on to the pc.

Motherboard- ASUS H81M-A

Power Supply- Solid Gear ATX Power Supply Model SDGR-400BX

Please Help

Do you get a display output? If yes it's possible it's normal behaviour- a lot of these new cards have the ability to turn off the fan when the GPU isn't being used much (i.e. when not gaming)....

I have connected a VGA cable from the pc to the monitor. But there's two places to put it. Do I put it in the VGA port on the graphics card or the one on my motherboard.
 


It should be connected to the port on the graphics board
 
Another question, does the graphics board have a 6 pin power connector port on the top of it (as some GTX950 cards do, others don't)?

If yes, have you connected that to your power supply? I note than your power supply doesn't have any dedicated connectors, but you should be able to get a converter to use one of the 'molex' power connectors for the job. That PSU isn't great, but look like it should provide enough power for a 950 as they don't use much.
