Hello, after sending an ASUS hd 5870 back thinking it was faulty I was told it was working there so I asked for a refund and got a new sapphire hd 5870 in the hope that it would work. Unfortunately it did not.

My problem: No display on startup with the card installed. I have tried all the slots and different power connectors. I have currently got an old 250GTS installed and it is running perfectly so I have no idea what could be wrong??

Please Help.

couple of things I forgot to mentions
Specs:
i7 950
GA-x58a-ud3r rev2
650 antec truepower

I did at one point have the old ASUS 5870 working but it stopped working after a while so I don't know if that helps?
