Hi I purchase a new graphics card for an old shop bought pc I got an msi rx 480 and the problem I have is the pc wont display any signal. I checked and the Bios are the most recent. I will put the dated pc spec below hopefully not a card problem I don't have access to a friends pc to test the card on none of my friends " pc game"

Spec:
CPU : i7 2600(non k)
Mobo : Foxconn h61mxl-k
Ram : 8gb ddr3 1333mhz
Power supply : Corsair CX500M
OS : Windows 10

The graphics card lights up and fans spin but that's all I cant even connect to onboard graphics when Gcard is installed. Any help much appreciated cheers lads.
