You've checked it still works with the card removed?
i have put my old card back in and everything works fine
What is the best way to do that reset cmos while new card fitted?

No take the card out. Then take the battery off the motherboard. Wait 5 mins. Then replace. Then replace card. Then boot and see what happens.
Can fix a multitude of problems - your settings in your bios will need re-doing of course and any overclocks applying again

Ok thanks will do all that now and get back to let you know.
I tried this but no joy when i restart with no power connected to card it will beep for boot but when i add power to card it will not boot at all.
So as others have suggested i will update BIOS next thanks for suggestion.
As far as i know its UEFI i did look but not sure were specific to look as when i go in bios i cant find the option on this board.
No, not if the BIOS doesn't know it's a graphics card.

a) Which RX580 you bought? How many 6+2 you have connected to the card?
b) What is your PSU model?
power color Radeon rx 580 red dragon v2 8192 and just the one 6+2 power connector
ocz 700 watt psu

Mate you MUST connect both the 8 pin connectors to the GPU. It wont work otherwise.
Is the PSU this one? If so, go get the extensions for the other 8pin connector. (I believe the red ones on the pic/video bellow).
Forgive me but I guess I’m learning here too - how wouldn’t it know? Surely the bios comes designed even from its earliest iteration to know when a card is installed regardless of what card it is?
I repeat I’m learning - not arguing
Sure, it might know a card is installed, but, it might not be able to communicate with it. The GPU is talking a newer language and the older motherboard BIOS does not understand.
The Red Dragon 580 only uses one 8 pin connector.
