Is it possible you have not set the monitor to pick up the digital (DVI) signal or vice versa with VGA analogue? You should try setting the monitor to different inputs manually incase it is not auto detecting it correctly.
Yes i tried both pcie slots and the monotor is connected via a dvi -vga adapter to th gfx card .As i said earlier i have ordered a new board

GIGABYTE GA-880GM-D2H AMD 880G (SOCKET AM3) MOTHERBOARD

which does have onboard grafics and will make any fault finding with the gfx (if any) easier plus the reviews say it is a more reliable bobo
