So I just put together my first build, unfortunately after many hours of trouble shooting and such, it looks like my computer can only run on the intel integrated graphics.
When I plug in the graphics card (specs are in sig), the system turns on like normal, fans spin on GPU card, but no picture. Its like the computer is running but with no displays at all.
If you can POST and everything with integrated video, but you cannot with the GPU, the GPU is the culprit here. It's unfortunately most likely DoA, especially if you've tried it on the other pci-e slots.
Do you have another GPU laying around just to test?

anyone have any tips about this?
Congrats on your new build mate!
The culprit is probably your PSU (Power Supply Unit). It's only 600W. Trade it in for a more powerfull and gold certified psu. 800-1000W should do just fine, preferably a 1000W so you can upgrade to crossfire/sli in a few years if your mobo supports it.
yes, i plugged in my 2 modular 6 pin cables into the PSU and the graphics card, i even switched them around and made sure it was firmly in the PCIe x16. is there something missing? its my first build

yeah i regret that i didnt get a more powerful PSU. however 600W should be more than enough to power up the single 6950 and the CPU. I wouldn't think that its voltage is too low

Your PSU if fine. Try what I said then come back us and let us know.

thats foolish for a single, complete overkill for 6950CF

So im going to double check my mobo stand-offs, but im pretty sure they're in the correct spots because i spent a lot of time double checking this stuff. Then im going to put the GPU in the 2nd PCIe slot to see if that works, it could possibly be a PCIe slot not working correctly. I'll update you guys once I do this.
the graphics card is working fine and i updated the drivers, however the card is in the lower PCIe slot. I'm going to move this back up to the upper PCIe slot to get x16 speed and see if that works If it doesn't, does that mean the mobo's PCIe x16 slot isn't working correctly?
okay it looks like everything is working now, i have the card in the uppermost slot, but im not sure what changed. hopefully it'll stay good now
