No, I can't ;( I can't see ANYTHING with the new card installed, not in any stage.

Thanks for the reply! The only problem is, that I can't see ANYTHING when booting - not even the very first messages during startup confirming IDE checks and processor speed and all that... dunno what to call them And my previous card was a radeon 9700 using the same catalyst drivers, so I doubt it's a driver issue. But thanks anyway

btw, this is my first post ever I'm having serious trouble with my new connect3d radeon x850 pro. After installing the card and booting up my computer, my monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 710T) gets no signal from the card, it just stays black. During startup I can see the "Analog" - "Digital" sign flashing in the corner of the monitor while the monitor is searching for the right signal from the card, but after about 10 seconds it just stops and turns completely black. I took the card back to the shop where I bought it for a mainentance check, but it worked 100 % fine on their test machine. Personally I think it's a matter of compatibility problems with my motherboard (AsRock K7VT4A+). I updated my BIOS (1.20 -> 1.30) hoping that it would solve the problem, but no sugar. Please share any ideas you might have, because the only thing I can come up with anymore is to buy a new motherboard, and spending money is never a good thing, at least for me Any help will be really appreciated!
