Help!! New build wont POST!

[Exnihilo]

This is a new build and it boots and runs fine with an old PCI video card, but won't even POST with my new x800gto2 PCIx16 card. You can see my setup in my Sig. I'm pretty sure its not a PSU prob. Things I have tried:

Updated bios
checked connections including video card power connector
installed latest nVidia chipset drivers.
reseated video card

tried different bios settings--
changed Init Display First from PCI slot to PCIe slot
changed PCI/VGA Palette Snoop to "Enabled"

Again---the whole system boots and runs fine with the old PCI slot video card installed. It only refuses to boot when I install the new PCIx16 card.

Do I just need to RMA the video card? Any help you can give, please.

Most of the things you have tried are reasonable given the problem. If I had a multi-meter I would probably check the voltage on the Pci-e connector just to make sure it is present. It may be time for a RMA.

Thanks deathwalker,

I think it's time to buy me a muti-meter and try that. I will update with what I find out.
This is my first build and I'm learning alot!

Thanks for the help. I did get a multi-meter and the voltage on the PCI-e connector is good. I bought another video card to upgrade my other computer and it worked just fine in my epox board. So now I brave the RMA process!
