Make sure the aux power connectors for the graphics card (should be 6 pin, labelled pcie) are plugged in.
If they are, try moving the card to a different x16 slot, if there is one.
If that doesn't work, rma the card.

Re: Help with pc building
Well he texted me last night and said after the jumpers were plugged in correctly the computer beeps twice on startup. Since then I have not been able to get ahold of him. Am I correct in saying that would be the cpu?

Re: Help with pc building
Beep codes differ from on mobo to another.
In the particular case of the GA-970A-UD3, page 91 of the user manual has the codes: http://www.manualowl.com/m/Gigabyte/GA- ... 99?page=91
2 short beeps is an odd one - says it's a CMOS setting error.
This thread isn't about that exact mobo, but it's a different Gigabyte one with the same issue: http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/27 ... error.html

Re: Help with pc building
If it's a cmos error he should reset it. There's usually a jumper or switch on the mobo to do that.

Re: Help with pc building
Well folks thank you again for all the help but I finally got a definative answer. He just took it to an IT guy to get it running. So thank you for sticking with me even though nothing really got resolved.
