Hi everyone!

I'm having kind of a strange issue with my GTX 670. I recently upgraded from an old P55 mobo/i5 system to a new mobo/cpu with a new SSD hard drive. I kept the RAM, PSU, Graphics Cards the same.

When I first finished the system, I wasn't getting any display out of the video card. After trying everything I could think to (reseating the card, checking the power cables to the card, etc) I decided to try a different video card. I used a tiny VGA/HDMI card I had sitting around and received signal. I used this to install Win 7 Ultimate on the new hard drive, install the chipset drivers, and install the drivers for my GTX 670. I should note that at this juncture I had my 670 seated in the mobo, but I took the power cords out of the card itself. If I plugged the power cords back into the card, and was unable to achieve signal from the GTX 670 OR the tiny video card.

I took the tiny video card out and tried using a single DVI output from my GTX 670 with no results. I've reseated the card in both PCI-E slots, switched the 6pin connectors on the card, and tried every output on the card, but I get nothing. The fan on the GPU is spinning, I'm receiving no mobo beeps, and when I use the DVI, the monitor isn't displaying the idle graphic like usual. It's blank and the light on the power button is orange, but it's simply not displaying. Any help would be appreciated.
