Have you made sure the power plug for the graphics card is plugged in (firmly)?

Please post your system specs (see my sig).

you would expect to see a 550-650w supply in the system
my silverstone 650w puts out the same amps on the 12v lines as your 480w claims to supply
i would suspect yours is not supplying anywhere near it's rating
see if you can borrow a larger supply to test in it
