Asus K8V SE deluxe motherboard

Can anyone help me please? I have recently installed a new Asus K8V SE deluxemotherboard and AMD Athlon 64 CPU but can't get any image on the monitor - I have tried 3 monitors now. The graphics card is Tornado GeForce 2 MX400 (64MB, AGP). I have 512MB memory installed. I am wondering if the graphics card is compatible with this motherboard?

Thanks Faloc - it is in Slot 1 on the motherboard though. Actually I solved the problem - it's embarrassing to say but I hadn't plugged one of the power plugs into motherboard. My old mobo only had one power plug and I didn't realise higher spec ones need a separate power supply for processor! whoops.

I do have a different problem now - I can only get the PC to boot after it's been switched off if I unplug from the mains and leave it for a while - not a big problem since I can get it working, but a bit inconvenient sometimes. Any ideas on that one?
