Remove all but 1 stick of memory and reset the cmos by removing the clock battery on the mobo for 10 seconds and replacing, make sure the PCI-E slot has no dust in or near it and try the card again.

If you have a spare pc laying around or a friend who is willing to gut there PC for you, you can try your GPU in another PC.
