Computer fucked?

Right, got myself a new graphics card today.

Put it in and hooked everything back up and the computer turned on, the fan on the card worked but nothing at all comes up on the monitor (as if the card isn't in it at all).

I put the old card back in and the same problem happened.

I don't know what went wrong, I grounded myself and everything.

HELP NEEDED STAT.

I know this might sound silly but have all power cables been connected back to GFX Card and power supply if its a modular one?

So glad it works now, thanks again though :)
