I just got an EVGA GTX 280 -- it isn't working. I get a blank screen, and I can hear the card's fan reving up repeatedly (it whirrs for a bit, calms down for a couple seconds, then whirrs again, and repeats this pattern forever). (Tried turning on the computer about 5-6 times - once, I actually saw the boot up screen for a couple of seconds, but then lost the picture and the card did its repeated whirring up.)
Is this a power supply problem or a bad card? I've got a Seasonic 650W PS - is that not enough? I tried unplugging the power for a few non-essentials (DVD drive, fans) but it didn't help.
