are you trying to install a new gpu? you may have to 'flick a switch' in the BIOS to make the pc display through the pci-e gpu instead of the onboard graphics.
press F2 or del key when starting to get into the BIOS, it may tell you which key on the screen at startup, check the manual if not.

ah. without other hardware to test it against, it will be difficult to say which is faulty.
have you a friend who will let you try your gpu in their system? if that works in that, it's your motherboard.
or a local computer store may be able to test your hardware for a small fee.
