did you plug in the wires? did you use an anti static wrist strap when putting the stuff in? did you hookup your monitor directly to the gfx card? did you disable the on board gfx card in the bios?

This is why you don't have your friend put together your computer. If he gets in over his head he can just leave you sitting with the mess.

If your motherboard has onboard graphics plug the monitor into that. Then boot and get into bios. Make sure that pci-e is selected as default gpu. Also make sure all power connectors to the card are in and all connectors to the board, 24pin+4pin.

I wonder if the power is plugged in. That card require a 6pin PCIe power cable. Also why you are at it make sure you CPU power is plugged in that one is a 4 or 8 pin adaptor.
