The blue light means there is power going to the video card, it is on during normal operation. Do you see anything at all when your computer is first starting up? Does your screen say no signal? First thing to check is if your video card output is being disabled by your motherboard BIOS settings. If you were using onboard graphics before, remove the video card and start computer with screen connected only to the onboard video output on the motherboard. Check your video settings in motherboard BIOS settings if you can get into it and make sure dedicated graphics option is enabled or do a CMOS Reset on the motherboard. Reinstall your video card after that and reconnect it to the screen and see if that fixed it. If not, check your video cables and connections, sometimes in rare occasions cables can be bad or the video settings on motherboard is set to use onboard video instead of the dedicated graphics card. For more help you can try contacting XFX support or your motherboard manufacturer's support to help you with further troubleshooting.
