[QUOTE="Lightning_Brian, post: 696277, member: 65620"] I agree. Please [USER=67595]@Emanuel Tomasin[/USER] try to power off your system, unplug your system (safely), once you confirmed that your computer is unplugged hold down the power button to enure all of the power is drained out, take out the card (carefully), make sure there isn't any dust that may be obstructing anything, and put the card back in. From there once again drain the power in the unit by holding down the power button on your computer (while it is unplugged). Only then do you plug it in. I'd wait a few second and hit the power button. Make sure your power supply has enough juice in it to power this on too. If not, it may not be able to spin it up correctly. However, it shouldn't take much wattage! Full specs if I'm looking at this correctly can be found here: [URL='https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-710/specifications']GeForce GT 710 Graphics Card[/URL] As [USER=38832]@upnorth[/USER] has mentioned I'd try all of the other displays to make sure it is not a disply issue. I'd also check to see if you can swap out monitors with other known good monitors too. This way you can rule out a monitor. Test the cables to ensure that the cables are in good working order too.
