    Are you getting any thing up, even the BIOS screen

    Most powerful graphics cards require additional power from the power supply :) Make sure that the PCi power connectors are connected to the graphics card

    The power ports should look something like that

    Check to make sure none of the pins on the pcu or motherboard which ever the pins are on make sure none are bent a bent pin will give you no display.

    Same thing happend to me with an old pc i was looking at the other day fixed the pin and pc was back working.

    you could try re-seating the cpu and cooler after you have checked the cpu can you list your specs and how old is the pc
