bought a new graphics card today to replace my aging 8800gt its a Powercolor Radeon HD6850 however when booting up its not getting a picture on the monitor it stays in standby..although the keyboard light comes on and dvd drive flickers so i think it is booting up..i'm not sure because i don't have a motherboard speaker so i cant hear the post beep.
i tried 2 monitors and dvi and hdmi connectors..same problem on both monitors/cables.
any ideas?
these are my specs with the old gpu
