System wont boot with new card

[draken]

I bought myself a dandy new gtx 260 and had problems trying to seat it into my case but after modifying the case, it snugged in pretty well. When i try turning it on nothing happens whatsoever, no display on the monitor or nothing, though the computer does turn on... I also found that my pin connecters it came with didnt even fit into the card thought it seemed that was just a design fault and was able to mold it into shape and make it fit. But still, nothing happens! I believe it is my power supply, which is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171016. Or the fact that i may have faulty card...anywho, can someone please help?!

Surely you did not do this.....if the pins don't fit, they aren't meant to plug into what ever it is your are trying to plug them into. This is the fastest and most sure fire way to fry something instantly.

From reading your post, I would say take it to someone who knows what they are doing before you ruin a brand new video card, or worse.

Draken, have you done this before? I mean are you experienced on building pcs and upgrading hardware?
