I recently purchased a second hand mac pro. The 2.66 quad core version. However it didn't come with a graphics card or a HDD. I purchased a second hand graphics card, an XFX HD5870, and a HDD. However I cannot get any video output, i have tried a DVI to VGA adapter connected to an old Dell monitor and a HDMI cable to TV, nothing came up with either, no black screen or anything, they just showed no input. The computer chimes and the hard drive spins up when turned on. The fan on the graphics card also spins. There is no os on the hdd but surely there should still be video output. Any ideas anyone?
