Open up the case and check to make sure everything is connected to the card including the axuilary power cable. Also make sure that your PSU meets the minimum requirements for the card and that it is in the correct slot.

Well, it would be the only place that looks like a plug wuold go on the card, usually at the end that doesnt have teh monitor outputs, or the edge away from teh motherboard near thecorner.

I'm sure there are pictures and such in the manuel

OMG

Learn how to read directions.
