yes checked all power connectors.The min for the card is 400watts and I have a 430watt. I tried the cmos reset already. Also not getting any beeps at start up.
 
you did plug the monitor into the video card didn't you ? or did you leave it plugged to the motherboard ?

if it's plugged into the card............. plug back into motherboard. enter BIOS and look for the graphics settings and select either "auto, PEG or PCI-E............... not pci. follow instructions on how to save ( will be on bottom of screen ) or hit F10 and then enter. when it reboots shut down power supply, put new card in and attach cable to video card. reboot. should work now. when you get to desktop install drivers or go to windows update and that will find drivers for you.
 
Let's wait and see what he says after following "swifty_morgan"'s advice.

It sounds like one of two simple problems:
a) monitor NOT plugged into graphics card, or
b) BIOS set to ONBOARD graphics

Just to clarify the STEPS:
1. Hook up to the ONBOARD GRAPHICS
2. BOOT into the BIOS ("DEL" key likely)
3. change to PCI_E graphics or AUTO (see motherboard manual if needed)
4. SAVE changes in BIOS
5. SHUT DOWN PC
6. Switch monitor to GRAPHICS CARD
7. BOOT PC
8. If it works, INSTALL LATEST DRIVERS ( www.amd.com )
