I bought some hardware yesterday, and with the help of a friend we managed to build the computer in a few hours. Yet when I tried to power on the computer, I got no display, just the monitor's OSD telling 'No Signal'.
After taking the card off and reseating it in the PCI-Express x16 slot several times (I tried both slots in my motherboard), I'm coming to the conclusion that my card might be a goner...
While it doesn't cost that much to buy a new card (and I'll might use the warrant I have to get a new one), I'd like to consult the people here for some help beforehand.
What surprised us was the fact that there were no place for a power cord on the card so I just guess it gets its power from the motherboard.
*sigh* And here I thought I could finally say goodbye to the 10fps days of WoW...
And no, I can't think this is a power issue as I have a 690W power supply and currently there is only the graphics card and motherboard connected to the PSU.
Here are the product info links for my motherboard and graphics card:
Motherboard: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=82&l3=0&model=1207&modelmenu=1
Graphics card: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2604
EDIT: Solved a while ago, it was just me who forgot to tell the news, even though I promised to tell you firsthand when an update is necessary. I want to say I'm happy for all the help I got here
