8800GT wont boot :(

[Selous]

hi, i got a brand new system
intel q6600
gigabyte p31 ds3l mobo
XFX8800GT
4g 800mhz patriot ram

anyways, set everything up, all turned on fine, installed 64bit vista, got mobo drivers and vid card drivers, restarted computer but wouldnt restart, the vid card fan spins at max and nothing comes up on screen. ive tried switching monitors but no luck. ive checked that all connections are tight but cant find anything physically wrong

is my vid card dead? maybe something i can try?

Unplug the power cord from the back of the machine. Pull the battery off the motherboard and let it set for 30 minutes. When you plug it all back in and the BIOS boots up go into the BIOS and set the RAM voltage to 2.1V.

Good luck.
