your links don't work, but have you made you to put the right power connector in the back of the card? e.g. molex, pci-e
 
It comes with a connector that turns the old 4pin one into a 6pin it uses 2 old 4 pin connectors there all pluged in nice and tight.

the fan comes on but nothing on screen it doesnt beep on start up either.

someone mentioned to me that removing the old gfx driver before i put new one in that shouldnt make a difference tho should it
 
I'm pretty sure the PCI-E on that is like 4x, so you would have a big performance drop on that mobo tbh. Not sure why its not working but that could be why. Check that its booting to PCI-E.

Some guy in the comments posted:

"Also, the PCI-E slot is limited to 4x, even though 16x cards should work in this slot, it will be forced to operate at 4x, though with low to mid range cards should not suffer too much, the 8800 and HD3870 series will be ghasping for bandwidth."
 
think i might have to do that any sugestions to a decent motherboard that will be compatible and not through the roof im skint lol
