Hey guys, put a machine together today but it isnt for playing ball.  Basically getting no picture and I am sure its the graphics card (which is the only non new part in the build). 

Spec

Core I7 930
Asus P6T Deluxe
Corsair 6GB 1866Mhz RAM
Corsair 1000W  PSU
Western digital 500GB HD

(18 month old 4850).

Now, I was all set for the GTX 480 release (tis why I got the Corsair PSU) if not two, but my GTX 260 was litterally starting to cry so RMA'd it. 
Meaning my 4850 came out of retirement, but alas I killed my old mobo, so the whole thing got replaced (I was going to anyway).  Still, thing is when booting it up, I get get anything on the screen.  Everything is connected, I tried it through my plasma, I still get no image, so I am sure the GPU is causing the issue, but, I dont get why.

Would leaving it basically unused for months mean I cant use the card?

Kind of pissed because I cant play BC2 (btw, if anyone could jump on that server in my sig and give me a nod if its actually working, be really appreciated).  And no word yet how my RMA is doing other than they have received it.

Thoughts?

I hate to be captain obvious, but is the card seated firmly? Sometimes you gotta give a little oomph to get that click

There is no onboard gfx on X58 boards, because they aren't some cheap crap mobos.

Hmm, I thought onboard gfx would come as standard on pricier mobos

GPU on chipset limits OC and requires more cooling. So no thanks, everyone using onboard with i7 should look in the mirror or run a server.

did you reformat with a fresh copy of win xp /vista etc?
and or did you use driver clean to get rid of nvidia drivers when you switched to ati card?
all the connections are good inside the computer... graphics power connectors... processor power connector...hard drives?
and do you get any beeps when you start the comp... and have you tried to start in safemode?
