The PC probably isn't POSTing so it can't display video. Have you seated your RAM properly, and is the 4-pin ATX +12V connector for the CPU securely connected?

Have you tested this board before, or did you just mention the graphics card because you assumed it was the problem?

Does it power off completely, or shut down and turn back on in a repeating cycle?
Which EP45-DS3 board do you have, the DS3L or DS3R? You may potentially have a faulty board with no BIOS installed, that did happen in the earlier days with the Ep45-DS3R.

Sounds like a faulty board. Have you tested your RAM?

RMA the board then. Do your best with MicroDirect, last time I used them they were very rude about returns. I pray that's changed.
