When the PCIe-videocardss are working on my friends pc wouldnt it be appropriate and open a new thread in Videocard and Monitors-section?

1. I have now brand new PSU with PCI3-power-cable.
None of the three PCIe-videocards are working properly, two show nothing.
Maybe because i am using a CRT-monitor with vga-cable?
Two of three cards have both DVI and VGA-connectors. I tried also with adapter. Nothing helped.

2. Cards will be tested in my friends PC.
-------------------
Nothing to do with my problem
3. What is the second identical 4-pole powercable for processor for?

If they work in one computer and do not work in yours, I would say that now you have a bad motherboard in Video PCI-e slot.

I use VGA cables myself. I can not see any differece using DVI or HDMI. So why spend money when I have lots of good VGA cables.

CRT(17 ")-the big old monitors with VGA, they should work with PCIe-cards, right?
Cheap VGA-cables for flat-screens? LCD? Didnt know its working.

Yep, my 16 foot, VGA cable for a 15, 17, 19 inch VGA monitors are working just fine with my $180, 24 inch Samsung LCD.

Had to buy a better VGA cable when I hooked my brothers 50 inch TV to his computer though.
