    Whilst we are all insulting intelligence (a thorough explanation of your symptoms in the first place would mean no-one has to cover the basics)....

    You are plugging the monitor into the new card aren't you?
    but still when i reboot it activates the on borad and still no sign of teh pcie being recognised

    ok on-board ati is it likely to be ati1250 chipset?, i have an abit that was a !!!!!! with this chipset, can you tell us which psu you bought?
    Also what other devices in the system such as hdd's cpu and any addon cards such as tv card or usb devices?
    i suspect the psu is just not up to powering it all up.

    well that should be enough, one problem i had with the abit was power to cpu preventing boot,
    make sure you have all powers units connected ie full 24pin on mainboard and cpu 12v power connector as well.
    Sorry but just to be sure of procedure make sure you
    go into bios and set vga priority to pci-e,
    exit bios saving settings
    as the system starts before windows loads kill power to machine.
    insert 8800 and attach monitor lead to position 1

    Make sure you switch off or unplug mains power when inserting cards as pci/e slots carry power even in system off state.
