Graphics card trouble.

Hi all,
I bought an ATI X1900XT 512MB off of someone on Ebay and i think its broken, just want to be certain it's not me being an idiot and not doing something really obvous.
The card was to go in my new rig:
Core 2 Duo E6600
Asus p5b
2GB Geil RAM
Corsair HX 520w
320GB Seagate HDD
Sony DVD-RW
ATI X1900XT 512MB

I set it all up and i'm quite sure everything else is set up correctly, but i get a long beep, then 3 short beeps. I read this meant that the motherboard can't detect a graphics card at all. I tried using a different monitor, a different dvi-vga converter, and i tried the card in another PC. None of these worked.

The PCI-E power connector is definatly the right one and is in. There is a jumper on the graphics card without a pin selecter on it, but i don't know what this is or if maybe it's the problem. Or is the graphics card just broken?

The fan on the graphics card runs like normal when i turn on the PC.

I would really appreciate any help.
