Well when I power up the computer, all the LEDs turn on, but nothing appears on the monitor. All the cables are connected and I have tested the video card on other computers. Anyone have any ideas to a solution to the problem?
Is your 4/8pin 12v atx power plugged in as well as the 24 pin power?
If it is then your mobo might need a newer bios to work with the q9550.
Your mobo defaults the ram to 1.8. You may need to boot with one stick and set timings volts manually. You might even have to get a diferent brand with stock volts of 1.8 to get it to boot.
Well it has to be your bios then. Your board probably shipped with a older bios and you probably got the new stepping e0 q9550 so you need a different cpu to update your bios.
Borrow a compatible cpu or buy a e1200 for cheap.
If you have to buy a e1200, I'll buy it from you for $20, and you can keep the $10 paypal.

-are you using the right dvi port on the back of the video card? It has two ports. Try the other one.
-Also, if you monitor has multiple inputs, use the button on the monitor to switch your input.
-make sure pcie power from power supply is internally connected to your video card
