Per recommendation via this post, I ordered the EVGA GeForce GTX 950, which arrived today,
I uninstalled all AMD GPU drivers, powered the system down, removed the AMD card, added the 950 and plugged a six-pin PCI-E cable (from the PSU) into the card and then powered on the system... but it refused to post (no audible beep or display).
If I remove the card, the system will post just fine. I can even reattach my R7 240 and boot without issue. I update my MSI 760GM-P34 to the latest BIOS update (HH) and still have the same issue (R7 still works).
I've not yet tested this card on another PC; unfortunately, most of my friends and relatives either own proprietary systems or are strictly console users. The card is receiving power, as evidenced by the running fan. My Corsair CX430 should be more than capable of powering this card so it can't be an issue with the power supply, Perhaps the GPU is DOA but that seems unlikely.
Is my motherboard simply not compatible with this card (despite being told that it is by a few users here and finding nothing to suggest otherwise)? Have I missed a step somehow or installed the card incorrectly?
