GTX 295 - does not work... help!

[ddotroq]

Hello All,

I need some help; I just put my PC together and everything seems to be working fine - with the exception of the video card. I have the following system:

Asus p6T Deluxe
Intel i7 940
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 295
Velociraptor 300GB
G.Skill 6GB GDDR3
Corsair 850W PSU
Antec Nine Hundred Two



All lights turn on and seem to work perfectly including mouse, keyboard, etc.; with the exception of the GTX 295. Just a red light on the near outer case. Don't know what to do. I tried changing the PCI-E it is connected to and still, same issue. Picture (Sorry camera phone):

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank You!

Make sure that nothing is broken off around the power connectors since I once had that happened which disabled my 7900GTX duo (GX2 GTX). If every thing looks good and the problem continues, RMA and wait a week for a replacement.
