Hi

I have a rig with 3x Asus HD7950 cards, I was installing a couple of extra external fans, and when I go to plug the pci-e power leads back into the cards, on one card the rearmost green power led is not coming on. I've tried alternative leads so its not the connection to the PSU, I've also tried the lead from the bad card in another card and it works fine. The red (no-power) LED is going out when I plug the power in, but the green is not coming on.

When boot up into xubuntu with this card only, it seems to work fine as the desktop loads, but when i try to run cgminer it just hangs at the initial output 'started cgminer version 3.7.2'.

Any ideas what the problem could be? I Dont understand how it could be a broken card as i hardly touched it if at all!

Cheers
nv
