Hmmm.. the vid card should work. I'm pretty sure I had a GF2 GTS in my NF7-S temporarily, no prob. Was the card pulled from a working system or an old that you had laying around? If the latter, can you try the card in another computer? Or borrow another vod card to try on your mobo. I'm assuming the monitor light goes to green than back to yellow?

Although the psu is pretty weak (is it generic or good named brand), it doesn't seem right that it would single out the just the vid card, rather it would lock up pc etc.

if the vid card was bad I would expect a beep code, is there one if you try to boot up w/o the vid card?

Just a thought, recheck mounting of your heatsink. Is it flush?
