Hi Guys
Got a problem with installing new GT640 asus nvidia 2gb GPU 3.0pci-e.
My monitor stays idle when powering up the computer and ive checked cables are correctly fitted and no beeps from motherboard. GPU is fitted/fixed and the fan is running.
Ive been told by the neighbour who builds pc's for a living that the GPU is to powerful for below specs and is the reason for monitor staying idle, is that right? Any advise would be greatful thanks.
