Hi guys, i have a small problem 
I took a 9800GT from my friend yesterday, and it worked perfectly well while it was in his pc.
When i connected it to my pc it just started the fan on 100% and kept it that way, and no picture was shown on monitor. Funny thing is that pc booted win7 with integrated vga, compeltely ignoring 9800GT.
I tryed bios settings, i even disabled integrated at the end so it maybe runs trough 9800GT but still nothing happened.
Then i had to clear cmos to i get my defaults back along with my picture on integrated card.
The only thing i can mention to help solving this problem is:
We both have the same PSU's and are 100% working normally ( almost new power supplies )
Next thing is that he has some "older" MSI mobo with ddr2 memory slots etc, while i have gigabyte's ddr3 mobo.
I dunno his mobo model exactly but mine is Gigabyte H61M-DS2

here is the link
and the 9800GT's link is this one

If anyone could come up with some useful info id appreciate it.
I doubt it has some "slight" incompatibility between mobo and vga, since i eliminated other possibilities (other components) since my pc is working perfectly with all other video cards (starting from ASUS 9800GT which i had one short time during this summer, GTS450, GTX560 etc).
Thanks in advance, Davor
