Alright, so I decided it would be a good idea to do a major upgrade on my pc. I added more ram, and replaced the cpu, motherboard, and graphics card.

All of the components I ordered work, except for the new graphics card. I've eliminated ever possible cause that I can think of. There's nothing wrong with the motherboard, since my old card worked fine when I tried it, and my power source is more than enough to power everything. I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the card itself either, since it worked fine for the day-or-so I had it plugged into my old motherboard while I waited for the new one to arrive.
The only thing I haven't checked yet is the cable connecting the new card to my power supply. I haven't been able to actually thoroughly check whether or not the cable it came with works or not, as it was a bunch of 8-pin to 4-pin plugs, and I don't actually have the cord I'd need to plug those into my power source safely.
I used a different set of cables than the one it came with, but I doubt that's the source of the problem, since the cable I used worked just fine when the card was plugged into the old motherboard.
So I'm basically at the end of my rope, and out of ideas. Could I please get some help here?
