Graphics card installation

I installed a Gtx 1060 to my old PC along with a new power supply.  When I turn it on, all the lights and fans turn on, the mouse light, the dvd drive will open and read discs, the fans to the GPU do NOT spin, but I'm getting no signal to the screen.  Is it that the graphics card isn't connected properly, or do the fans not spin when they are not needed?  Help?!

Also I've tried both the hdmi port on the motherboard and the one on the graphics card.  Idk if that makes a difference

lol plug it into the graphics card, the MOBO ports dont work once you put a GPU in

Reset CMOS, Try to reput GPU in PCI-E Slot and try to replugin everything from PSU and check if your CPU and motherboard and GPU is getting power.

Reset settings in BIOS. Google a bit how to do it on your motherboard.

Yep, check on the internet. I did it many times when my old FM1 PC failed.

So I for the bios thing, all I had to do is hold f8 the first time and now it's booting up fine, was there something else I should've done?
