EVGA Geforce GTX 960 Not working

[Ghostt]

I had a AMD Radeon 3400 Series. I wanted to upgrade so I could actually use my gaming computer for gaming. I got a EVGA GeForce GTX 960 and I took the Radeon out and put this one in and I don't think that I had the 8pin in at this time. It loaded fine though but I realized I wasn't getting 1920x1080 so I decided to restart my computer. I restarted and then the card stopped working. The fans spun but when I powered on the computer the graphics card didn't work and it said No Input signal for VGA and then my monitor went to sleep. I have Razer mouse and keyboard so if it works they light up and that is how I usually tell but they never show any light unless I don't plugin the 8pin. But then they light up for a short time then the computer makes 4 beeps. I have an ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard and I was told by EVGA Tech Support that it may not be compatible which I don't want to believe. Also the VGA Led has been lighting up solid red since the problem started. I could use some help for this has taken 6 wasted hours of my life from me already and I still can't seem to fix the problem.

Remove the card, boot the system normally, check for a BIOS update for the system. Then try the nVidia card again, make sure the power plug is in. You may have damaged the card when you had it on without the power attached. If EVGA support can't get it running, see if you can return or exchange it.

This maybe an issue for your computer as new hardware tends to be quite mean to older hardware. Like that guy said, remove the card from the slot and make sure the slot you put in is the PCIe 2.0 slot that comes with your mother board. (3.0 PCIe is on your card but it's all backwards compatible). Make sure your system have enough power from the PSU and make sure you firmly connect the pins to the motherboard and the power to the card. (I have an AM3+ motherboard and the same graphics card as well btw.)

Finally make sure to use the driver disc that comes with the graphics card.

Try to use a different PCIe slot if the other one doesn't work... Do note that your motherboard has SLI and crossfire support and has more than one PCIe slot... Just make sure it's the big slot and not the small one as stuffing a big slot into a little slot isn't exactly the best thing to do.
