Default "No Video" on new PC

Hey,

I finally got round to buying and building my new PC, I got it all built, updated the BIOS on my P5Q Pro mobo without a hitch using ezflash. Installed my nice new Vista 64 Ultimate disk fine. Got up and running and started installing drivers, lastly was to download the latest vista 64 drivers for my nvidia 8800 gt card, that also installed without a hitch and had the highest res possible displaying on my bravia in my living room (temporary home till I set it up in my office). Now, I logged out after doing this, vista shut down an gave me the correct screen, but then my pc wouldn't switch off, I had to press and hold power button till it did. Now whenever I try to switch it on I get no signal at all from my video card, I can't tell if it's booting up or not, all the fans work fine, the hard drive sounds like its spinning although I'm not 100% sure. The green light on the receiver for my wireless keyboard and mouse doesn't come on at all, which it did before, to allow me to navigate round my BIOS.

I really don't know what the problem is and I have unplugged everything including the graphics card and put everything back and it's still happening.

Any help or suggestions on this will be GREATLY appreciated, I need to get this workstation up and running as a matter of urgency and this is a delay I can so do without right now

Thanks
Mark
