I've just installed a new ATi 5850, all seems to working ok, but i get no display, i have uninstalled my previous cards drivers (nvidia 880gt) so was using the onboard graphics, i just plugged my 8800gt back in and i get a picture but get nothing on new card, where am i going wrong? Thanks very much for any help on what must seem like novice issues to most of you!

Both power connectors?
how can the card be working fine if you have no picture? if you mean its just spinning up the fan might mean you have a DOA
especially as you have tried the onboard and 8800gt which work, what psu are you using and what mobo?how can the card be working fine if you have no picture? if you mean its just spinning up the fan might mean you have a DOA
MOBOs a pretty old ASUS P5LP-LE, PSU is a jeantec arctic 600W
might be worth checking to see if the mobo is compatible somehow, id question the jeantec psu tbh dont suppose you have anything else to try?
I also upgraded to a 5850 and had the same issue, when running in the X16 slot (PCIE1 mobo), if i put this in the X4 slot it worked. Someone I worked with put it on a test rig (PCIE2 mobo) and could only get it to work on X4 and X8 but had no display on X16.
