So I recently decided it was time to upgrade my computer, so I went out and bought an MSI GeForce gtx 1060 I hook everything up and don't get a signal, the LEDs on the card light up but it's not outputting any visual. So dismayed and depressed by this I switch back to my old graphics card to see if I can find a solution. But to my surprise my old graphics card (Radeon hd 4870) isn't outputting a signal either, when I hook it up, my monitor just tells me to check my video cable, but much like the new graphics card I can tell it's getting power because the fans begin to spin. My mother board is an asrock g41c-gs, I've tried hooking up a VGA cable to my motherboard to see if that would help solve the problem, but I don't get a signal, I don't know if my mother board is fried or what. But any help would be greatly appreciated. I am very distressed by this situation and noticeably freaking out. Thanks

Not sure that is a sure fire way to tell. May depend on the graphics card but remember the card gets up to 75W just from the PCI slot itself. You said you had a simlar problem before. Do you have other power cables you can try? Does your PSU have another suitable power socket you could try (assuming the video adapter power connection is modular)?

Im not able to access my complete specs because I'm not able to access my computer, what makes you believe the mother board is fried? Nothing should have happened

Either that or your pci express slot is gone. If not, your old card should be working normally.

Yes, I've had a similar problem before with my Radeon graphics card, but I did some fiddling around and everything worked fine, just this time it's not cooperating, I'm certain the power cables are working because the fans and LEDs both turn on
