Tested a friends video card and now mine does not work

[trev456]

Hello everyone. I have an ATI 5850 that was working great until today. I pulled it out to help a friend test his card, which we found out was working fine. I went to put my card back in and now the computer starts up but the light on the monitor stays orange and does not turn on. Any suggestions on things I can try to fix this? Thanks!

Are you sure of all the connections and gpu seating on the mobo????.
And you did connect the 6-8 pin connectors??
I don't know if this will work with one of today's computers, used to way back when, remove the gpu,clean the edge connectors,unplug the system from the mains then turn it on a couple of times with the power switch, now leave it for a while, say 10 min, this trick used to work on the cache ram on older mobo's, had to take out the tag ram tho'...

I did pull the card out and reseat it a few times to make sure. Both PCI-E power connectors are plugged in and I even tried the other 2 PCI-E connectors on the power supply. I will look into your other solution Thanks
