Make sure your graphics card is seated correctly and in the right type slot (eg, make sure its not an agp in a PCI slot), your motherboard can accept it, your power supply is powerfull enough, check its not overheating, do you have the 6 pin power cable plugge din properly (of needed) or the card might be dead.
Also try disabling on board VGA in your BIOS if you have it.

im sure its in the right slot pci-e. i just finish putting everything together. i didnt even get to bios yet. everything is on and running. just not getting video out.
wats onboard? i just bought a new 8600 gt today. want me to try just starting with just the video card?
No, the motherboard has it's own "integrated" (on the board itself) video card. It stinks, but we can troubleshoot with it right now. Take out the 8600 and plug in the onboard. It should be blue and right under your mouse and keyboard slots. If you do NOT see it, try your other video card. (only some motherbords have integrated video)
o0o0o0o i c. ok. well mine doesnt have it. so im pretty stumped. i dont know wat to do.
everything is brandnew only thing old is cpu (p4 3.2ghz) and cd drives.

quick question. i have ddr2 ram. need to if it matters if it says ddr2 400/533/667/800 will it work regardless of the number does it have to be 800? as long as its ddr2 correct? the ram im using is ddr2 off my old computer and its ddr2-400 (pc2-3200) but my motherboard im using now says ddr2-800 (pc2-6400) would that be the problem?

Yes. As long as it's DDR2. Make sure you aren't mixing DDR with DDR2 or DDR2 with DDR3 either.
I suggest:
Refund that stick of RAM
Buy the cheapest card you can find at that store. (video card). You can still refund it if it doesn't work...
Or grab a old video card from another computer and try that.

DDR2 Comes in 400? It must be, because it wouldn't fit in the 240pin slot if it was DDR1... Weird.
No no, most motherboards these days let you pick what type of RAM you want to use. So they give you two types of slots. DDR and DDR2, or DDR2 and DDR3. I'm just making sure that he does not have 1GB in DDR and 1GB and DDR2 and trying to start it that way

Wow, never seen a mobo like that (I saw it once but didn't think it was MOST MOBOS THESE DAYS) are you sure about that?
Hmm, well maybe SOME
. Take my Abit IP-95 for instance. 2 slots for DDR and 2 slots for DDR2.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128048
