    disconnect all power leads, sata cables etc etc. Reset the cmos ( small round battery looking thing, which is the size of a 1€ coin ) make sure you have power going into the card

    unplug all cables. And plug them back in again. Have you a spare card to try to get the pc to boot with ?

    ok, took a while and alot of troubleshooting and i got it to work!!!

    the first problem was because i didn't have the molex power connected to the mobo.

    then it kept turning off before i could do anything, and that was resolved by fitting the h/s propperly!! took alot of talking!!
