does your motherboard have onboard video? if so i have 2 suggestions

1. you have the video card in the pci slot but have the monitor plugged into the mobo, resulting in a black screen, make sure the motitor plug (weather it is analog or digital input) is in the card.
2. if you have onboard video, try using that with the video card out of the plug.
3. you should return your pci video card if you have a PCI-E slot, you can get a decent one just as cheap, and it would be much much much much faster.
