Graphics Card Not Working

[chriscoolzap]

Hey, 

       So when I power up my pc with the dual 970's it does not show the boot menu but there there is power to the card(white led). But if I power it up without the cards it boots up properly. What should i do? Also, the os is not installed yet/

Does it boot with one card?

What psu and motherboard do you have, is the sli bridge connected?

Why havent you installed an OS yet?

Use a single card for now. After you get the OS and drivers installed, its time to pop the other card in.
