I just finished my first build and as the title says I have no picture. I've tried swithing to the other port, made sure the sli cable is hooked up, and double checked to make sure the monitor cable was in good. The monitor simply acts like its getting no signal. Any suggestions? I really hope this isn't a fried card.

Thanks
 
You mention a few things but with no hardware specs, its harder to help.
I'll state the bleedin obvious anyway...
Try the card not in SLI.
Try the card on a different monitor.
Try the card in a different PC.
Try a different PSU.
Try a different driver.
 
Is this power connector alwasy suppose to be connected? As you can see in the picture it is partically plugged. I tried searching the manual but found nothing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Well the card is a EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB and the mother board is The Asus p5Q Pro.

I tried the monitor on another computer and its ok
I only have one card so i dont think it would be SLI
Unfortuanlly I dont have another pc to try the card on and I dont have another psu to try.
I dont think its teh PSU because all the fans and everything else start up


Could it possibly be an sli setting? maybe the board is set up for two cards when you get it?

That means the fans are ok and the PSU isnt completely dead.
It doesnt mean the PSU is ok.
 
Im sorry I ddint mean to say SLI cable... what I should have said was PCI power connector
 
Apparently it was the 12v connector. I plugged it in and now I have a display!

Thanks
