Check external power cable on the x800 to see if you plugged it in.. if not try reseating the card....

which external power cable on the video card? the fan on the video card is running. its seated perfect. i tried to seat it twice.

Newer cards like the Radeon X800 need an external power plug in order to work... some look like the 4pin floppy power connector and some are like the 4pin molex(HDD/CDROM) connector..
