i've tried the following with no luck:
-both dvi connectors on the card
-both pci-e 16x slots on the mb
-unplugging all my drives
and i've triple-checked that the card is seated properly, the 6-pin pci-e power connector is connected, etc.
for some reason i get no video from my 8800gts in my new p5k setup. the 8800 still works fine in my old mb, and my 6600 works fine in the new mb...
the p5k w/8800 installed seems to be going through the normal boot process - theres hd activity and capslock turns on and off so it seems like...
thanks for the info guys.
p5k + e6420 + ultra120 + 2GB g.skill on the way!
i live right by frozencpu.com so i'm just gonna pick up a scythe s-flex on my way home from work :)

well it wasnt the power supply. the card is in the mail to get replaced and i'm hoping to hell its the problem. if its the motherboard it looks like my only other option for a pci express + socket 754 solution is the MSI K8N Neo3-F which at the moment seems like a bitch to actually find...
i guess i'm gonna drive over to frozencpu tomorrow morning and get a new power supply because i really dont want to have my system out of commission for a week while i wait for an rma to process for my video card.

and video card (xfx gf6800gt http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-150-078&depa=0 )
my power supply is the enermax 470w noisetaker (...
