I just got a GTX 970 and am installing it in my computer. I got it in my computer and the monitors for my computer will not turn on. I tried the card in another computer and it works just fine. Both computers have the same 600 w power supply. I am using windows 10.

Need some details here, the monitors won't turn on or they just don't display anything? Monitors not turning on means you hit the power button on them and they don't work which is different than them actually turning on but not showing anything with your new card. Did you make sure your power is properly connected to the card? Same thing for the video cables? You may want to swap the power supplies and test your system on the known working one.
