    Tried it in a slot called PCI-E x16_2 and it told me that it was in the wrong slot so have moved it back to the original x16_1.  No joy :o(
    I think I might be cursed!

    I'm really not sure, what else to advice you, short of trying another monitor, or a faulty card, straight out of the box (it happens).

      No worries mate, you've been a fantastic help.
      I think I might have a spare monitor cable lying around the house somewhere, I'm going to give that a go too. If that doesn't work I'll call the tech support at the place I got it from tomorrow morning and if there's nothing they can do, I'll back it and get them to send me a new one out.

      Thanks again for all your help!
