Bad Video Card?

[thisrandomlife]

Hello,
First time poster here.

I just finished building my maybe 3rd or so computer. I'm having issues with it. I have everything setup, the psu, hd, dvd drive, ram and my graphics card. Everything is connected as it should be (I triple checked). But when I turn on the computer all the fans turn on but the monitor shows no output or POST. I don't hear any sounds from the mobo showing bad ram. I have tested the monitor on another computer and it works fine.

The monitor is an old VGA monitor and I am using a Geforce 9800 card, and I use the converter that comes with it also. I also tried anouther pci-e card to try and see if it was the video card. The monitor still just stay the same as it if as no output. Any Suggestions?

Also I don't know if this is important but the red light near the power switch stays a steady red.

And I have no successfully booted up the computer yet also. Is it just a bad video card?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Specs:
ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P45 MOTHERBOARD
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB)
GeForce 9800
CORSAIR 450 PSU

Can we get some exact specs? What I'm most interested in are the following:

Motherboard brand/model and Chipset (chipset if possible)
Power Supply brand/wattage
Hard drives
Optical drives
Processor

without knowing specs.... do you have BOTH 6pin power cables plugged in to your graphics card???

i got it, one of the power supply cables was not in all the way, it must have slipped out for some odd reason.
