My GeForce GTX 280 finally kicked the bucket last week. I sent it into EVGA for replacement and in return they sent me a GTX 470. I plugged it into my motherboard (Asus M4A87TD Evo using AMD Phenom II x6 1055) and I could get the boot screen from the motherboard, but it wouldn't let me do much else with it - it would immediately shut off after the boot screen / POST screen would appear. I plugged in the spare graphics card that I was using (ATI Fire GL 7700) and it works perfectly fine. All the power connections work, the PCI-E x16 slot works fine, I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
I'm gonna try plugging my card into my home computer since I have nearly identical components - same power supply, Asus motherboard, and so on and see what could be causing this problem. Is there anything I should be trying differently, like a BIOS update perhaps?
