Default Have i ruined my new card??

Ive just brought a whole new PC with the following spec -
MSI AM2 ATI Xpress 3200 ATX Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ AM2 3.2GHz (BLACK EDITION)
PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 3870 XT 512MB GDDR4
Zalman Heatpipe CPU cooler
4GB RAM etc etc

I built the PC, and first time managed to mess it up a bit, second time it worked fine, apart from it only recognised 3GB of RAM. So again opened it all up and reseated all the RAM sticks, again only 3GB. I thought i would leave that and press on installing Windows, all was ok, installed all motherboard drivers fine, went to install my graphics card and it just stopped at 99% of installing the CCC (catalyst control center) didnt even hard reboot, so had to remove power cable. Now when booting the PC the screen is blank and the monitor sits on standby, have reseated graphics card and monitor connection. Have i somehow ruined my card???

Any help greatful

Thanks
