Not sure what I'm doing wrong but tried this in 2 PCs...


Step 1 - Install the card into the slot (doesn't appear to be any power cables for it)
Step 2 - Switch on PC and the light for power appears on and the fans are running but the PC does not appear to boot properly (hence no boot up beep).

When I plug the VGA cable back into the on-board VGA port while the card is in, same problem applies as bove. If I remove the card and just stick the cable back into the on-board, no problems. What am I doing wrong? I've also tried enabling primary VGA display to PCI in the BIOS.
