AMD 6950 - No Signal

So I bought myself a new Asus AMD 6950 DirectCU II card this past week. After plugging it in and hooking up my LCD, I got greeted with a "No Signal" messaged on the screen. After hours of troubleshooting and testing DVI ports, power, cables, other hardware etc, I decided I would return to the shop where I bought it. After them troubleshooting, it turned out that the DVI ports were faulty on the card. Odd thing is that the DVI ports worked using a DVI-to-D-Sub converter. Anyway, I see a lot of posts on the net regarding "No Signal" on tech forums and hopefully this post will save you some time troubleshooting.
