The thing that comes to mind about the card is the possible need for the power plug. On the large vpu model cards some require the extra power feed being a small plug. The 7950s are the higest DX9 NVidia models.
Without the hdd it posts and ends saying "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER".



With the hdd, I get black screen.
