I have purchased a new graphics card (EN 8800 GT), when plugged in, I get no output on my monitor, must I pre-install the drivers for the card or something?

It doesn't appear at all, but like I posted in another part of the forums, my CPU makes a weird high pitched noise aswell, and the power just turns off after a while..

sounds like a power outtage, loose connection
have you built this yourself? sounds to me theres a few kinks, are all cables properly attached aswell as all the fans no power getting to the card perhaps

You need (at least):
__________________
ATX power: giant block connector thing with 20 pins. Most motherboard also take 4 more pins which should dangle off the side. CPU power: 4 pins, square block near the CPU. PCI-E power: goes straight to the back of the card (this is most likely your problem) And then all your hookups for fans and peripherals. Also, if everything's properly connected, take the motherboard out of the case and try running it on a box or something to check if it's shorting on the case. My System: 日夏子
