DOA GTX670 or my setup is bad?

I just got this GTX670 today. Plug it in, power up and the screen stays blank.

Checked all power cables, all connections, just fine. When I swap back in my 8800 GTX works fine.

 

Motherboard: M2n32Sli Deluxe with bios 5002

 

Powersupply lists the following:

Ac Input: 100-240v 47-63 Hz 10-5A

Fuse rating 12A/250V

DC output: 600W +5v 30A

+12v1 0-26A +12v2 0-20A +3.3v 0-30A

-5V 0-0.8A -12V 0-0.8A +5VSB 0-2A

+5V and +3.3V Max current 50A

+12V1 and +12V2 Max current 40A

 

 

Can anyone tell me if i'm doing it wrong or this is just a bad card?

I see it's an evga card as google has already indexed your questions there :)

 

I'm betting it's your PS. It's old. 8800GTX requirements for power are a far cry from what your new bird wants.

LOL that's creepy.

Crap if its the PSU. that's annoying.

That's an old motherboard, PCIe 1.0. The card should still work fine with it however, but you never know there may be some incompatibility.

 

That PSU looks like an old cheapo, do what Fk said and check the rails. More than likely 12v1 is wired to the 4 pin motherboard connector, you should look at the power connectors, a lot of times they are labeled, in your case perhaps "12v1" and '12v2". I'm guessing that video card uses two 6 pin PCIe connectors and your PSU only provides a single 6 pin connector so you are using at least one 4 pin molex to PCIe 6 pin adaptor. I'd unplug everything but a single DIMM, the 20(4) + 4(4) pin motherboard connectors, and the video card. If you're using the 4-pin molex to PCIe pin adaptor move it to a different bundle of cables and retry.
