I just recently purchased a graphics card and when I install it and have everything hooked up it displays nothing. I thought for sure it would be compatible and have no problems but now I'm wondering if I missed something or if the card is just defective.

It is not unheard of that some boards with PCIe ver 2.0 slots needed BIOS update for ver 3 cards to work.The most recent BIOS update available on this page http://www.msi.com/support/mb/P67AC45.html#down-bios is what I have. I assumed that was the most up to date one. Am I wrong?

Try removing the GPU. Make sure there is no dust or anything in the PCI-E slot.
Plug it back in. Make sure it is plugged in tight.
You shouldn't be able to see the gold pins.
The clip on the right side of the slot will lock/click.
Power on the PC now and try again.
If your monitor/tv used a different input from the original setup, make sure you put it on the right input.
I have my old gpu in right now and it is working just fine. I have unplugged and replugged the new gpu many times and it hasn't changed anything. The lights on the card and the card's fans turn on when it is powered up but I just get no display.
