You are installing a video card in a system that was previously using built-in video. When you turn on your computer, there is no picture. The cable is connected properly and the display automatically senses the correct connection to use. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

a. You connected the cable back into the built-in port.
b. You didn't connect a power cable to the card.
c. You didn't connect a USB cable to the card.
d. You forgot to attach an SLI or CrossFire cable to the card.

B. The most likely cause is forgetting to attach a power cable to the card. Most PCIe x16 video cards need six-pin or eight-pin power from a so-called SLI, VGA, or PCIe power cable. There is no provision for connecting a USB cable, and a single card does not need an SLI or CrossFire cable. The video cable was connected to the new card.
