Just built a computer, i have bought this graphics card, and i am getting no signal :( from either of the ports on the back. my motherboard is a p45 with a core 2 (e8400 i think), 4gb of ram.

the graphics card is recieving power by both slots, 2 6-pin pcie. one of which is an adapter from two 4-pin molexs. 500w.

monitor and cable are good, im using it on annother computer now.

checked that it is fitted correctly to the motherboard.

the fan spins nicely.

anybody shed any light on this matter?
