Is a monitor plugged into the card? If not, are you using a dummy plug?

What driver version are you using, does windows see the second card, what motherboard do you have

If you are using windows you will need a second monitor plugged in or a dummy plug.  You could try looking at linux coin, it will boot off USB

Windows does not need a dummy plug using the current driver/sdk
