Graphic card problems

Solution
1) in the top x16 slot?
(not necessary, but swap slots to any other compatible x16 slot if stumped)

2) power cables attached? (if needed)

3) monitor is attached to the graphics card?

(you'll also need to install the video drivers, but you need to see the screen first.)

Other: sometimes the card isn't compatible, is broken, or the motherboard BIOS is set to only use the iGPU (or onboard video) not the PCIe card.
