No display from my gpu

I just upgraded a portion of my system up to an i5 2500k cpu (so very happy!) and I've been running through the motions, sorting everything out on it etc. but for some reason I can't get a display from my graphics card.

I'm 99% sure this isn't an actual problem with my graphics card as I was running it happily not an hour before I dismantled everything for the change-up.

I'm currently running from a DVI port out the back of my mobo on I presume the integrated 3000 gpu on the cpu.

I'd really like to get this working so I can get back on SWTOR!!! If anybody has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas!

EDIT: The motherboard I am using is the MSI Z68A-G43-G3

Managed to fix it, though it's not quite as ideal as I'd hoped.

I had to swap it out and put it into my PCI-E 2 slot rather than my 3 slot. I was under the impression that they were backwards compatible but after being unable to find any driver or bios update that mentioned support for 2 cards in 3 slots I just went and through it in the old slot.

Working fine now! Thanks guys, merry christmas.
 
Sorry I perhaps didn't explain it well enough, the reason I was running from my mobo is because I couldn't get a display when using my fitted gpu in the 3 slot.

I will check again for a BIOS update and also to check whether the onboard gpu is over-riding my pic gpu.

As I said, I do have it working now, playing from my 4890 and displaying from it too, just not from the slot I would have liked.
