Being new doesn't guarantee it's not faulty.<div class="im"><br>

It doesn't have to be a tuner card, just any card so you can test that the slot works.<div class="im"><br>

I don't know where to check for in in the BIOS on boot. Where should I be looking?<br>

<br></div>
MOst systems tend to bring up a page during the boot process which lists all the PCI devices in the system. It may only be up for a second or two, and you may have to change a BIOS setting to show all the details instead of a static splash screen (as many do these days).<div class="im">

I need to see if I have plates to cover the other slots in my box; I've got the knockout kind, but if I do, I can try putting it in other slots.<br>

It only needs to be temporary. You are trying to determine if it's a problem with the card, a problem with the computer, a problem with *that* card in *that* slot, or something else.<br>
<br>
<br>
I would most suggest trying to find another machine to stick the card in - even if you have to nip round to a friends house. If the card doesn't work in another computer then that's a good sign it's the card at fault and you can deal with replacing it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Having said that, sometimes it can be as simple as "that card doesn't work in that system" - for reasons we will never know. Had that at work a week or two ago - we had a brand new video card that wouldn't work in two PCs here but works fine for someone in his PC at home, and a different video card works in the PC at work.<br>
It's not called "Plug and Pray" for nothing :D<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
