GTX 950 problem

[Hibiki]

So I recently won a EVGA GTX 950 gpu and I tried installing it into my current set up. 

Current set up
AMD FX 6350
Asus m5a97 le r2.0
Asus GTX 650 
Vulcan 8gb ddr3 ram
700W power supply (forgot the name)
kingston hyperx 120gb ssd

The problem is when I plug in the gpu and the 8pin power (6pin + 2 pin) and i boot the system, the fans would run but my monitor would have no signal. I tried reinstalling the gpu and what not but to no avail. 

I dont know if the gpu is broken or what because I just put my old gpu in and everything works fine. 

Note: I uninstalled all old drivers before attempting to install the new gpu. 

I have already flashed the bios to the most recent version. My motherboard does not have vga capabilities and there are no integrated graphics. 

I dont know if this is an issue with the general motherboard compatibility or do I have a defective gpu since my old gpu works perfectly fine.  

Thanks for any response.

Try it in another system (if possible) to see if its a dead GPU.

I've seen somewhere that taking out the ram and putting it back in will solve the problem. Does that sound like it will work?
