Hi everyone,

Okay I am pretty scared right now. I got a new vid card, the MSI n9800gt. I also got a 6pin PCI connector for my power supply to power the card. I have a 450watt power supply. And my motherboard is a GeForce7050M.

I put my card in, I attached the power supply to the card, and then plugged it in and pushed the power button.

I hear my motherboard fan, my HD, and the vid card fan. But no display, and nothing else... I think to myself, hmmm. So I unplug my card and take it out and use the intergrated card, and the fan starts up and my HD starts up, but still nothing happens. The motherboard doesn't even beep... Did I fry my motherboard....? Sad This is what I fear the most.

(and no I'm not on that PC right now this is an older one.)

Here are my specs:

Processor AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ Socket AM2
CPU Fan AMD Original AM2 CPU Fan
Motherboard ECS nVidia GeForce 7050M-M Motherboard
Memory 2GB DDR II 800 Memory 240 Pin (Major Brand)  
Hard Drive Western Digital 160GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA II
Optical Drive LG 22X DVD RW + Dual Layer
Video nVidia Geforce 7050 based with 2D/3D Graphic Engine up to 256MB Memory
Audio Realtek ALC662 6-channel HD Audio
Network Card Onboard 10/100 Network Card
Ports 6 USB 2.0 Ports, 1 Serial
Case 1285 Deluxe Black Tower Case
Power Supply 450 Watt Power Supply

(copy and pasted, haha)

I cleared CMOS. I did the jumper, and then I took my battery out for about 10 mins.

I'm really freaking out. I don't know what to do. I mean, if I'm not hearing the BIOS beeps then it must be fried, right?
