XFX GeForce 8800GS Alpha Dog Edition giving start up problems

[Varko3000]

So, I bought the GPU about 2 years ago when it first came out. I used to have a HP Pavillion (before I knew anything about computers). And about 3 weeks ago I bought all my parts and built my computer. It runs fine. It's has Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. When I decided to wait so I could by a new after market heatsink (The Arctic Cooler aceleron S2) Which i installed and everything is fine. There is one problem. When I plug everything in my computer wont connect to the monitor, with the onboard GPU or the 8800GS. So for the motherboard it has what is called a VGA Switch Card, it allows the PCIe to run at 16x instead of 8x.

That's generally all you need to know.

Take out the GFX card, and try onboard. If onboard doesn't work, reset BIOS.

i've heard alot of bad stuff about newegg are they really that bad?

 

[MindoverMaster]

NewEgg is not bad. I received a few DOA things, but that is not their fault. They only supply the product, not tweak it in any way.

If you go by reviews, 90% of them are idiots.
