Well i built my computer last night and I bought a Gigabyte 6850 graphics to go with it. The computer powered up fine and i proceeded to install windows. About half way through the installation the display went blank. I restarted the computer and noticed there still was no display. When i plug the cable into the onboard graphics there is video but plugging in the cable to the graphics card yields no video.
I opened the case and saw that the fans aren't even spinning. I have no way to know if they were when i first booted it up. I have tried many things like installing catalyst control center but it only shows the intergraded graphics. Before i installed the motherboard CD the card would show up as an unknown device but after installing the CD the card does not show up. Did my card just die after using for 10 mins or is there something else causing it not to be recognized or making the fans spin.
