Well I ordered a "Gigabyte 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti" (It's backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0)

My motherboard is a "ASUS M4A78T-E"

My PSU is 1000W

But ONTO THE ISSUE.

Basically when I inserted the card and I boot up, I get stuck on the Motherboard Logo and "4 Cores Unlocked" and all that.
But the problem persists even if I have my VGA put into my motherboards on-board video. but I have the card powered

Solutions I have attempted
>Dedicated power cable to my PSU
>Use Different PCI-E 2.0 Slot

So literally my computer stalls on the BIOS Splash if the card is even powered on my board.

Is the card faulty? (I don't have another machine to test the card)
