First thing I would check is that the vid card is plugged in all the way...even if you think it is, try it again...

Memory too. Reseat everything inside in fact, but mainly memory and video card, those are usually the two that cause problems like this. Pull and reseat them several times if you have to and see if you can get a good connection. Make sure the power is off and ground yourself on the chassis to avoid static electricity.
