Hi!
Does the screens power led turn orange when your card is connected? Is the dvi input selected from the lcd's settings? And make sure that the dvi cable is connected correctly.

If the DVI is connected do you get the BIOS post screen when you first turn the PC on?

If you do, you may just have a driver problem in windows.

If you don't their was a problem with older ATi cards which i had, which resulted in sending the card back for a refund for me.
