Have you plugged the power leads into the card ?
If so best bet is to check the fan cables are connected to the board and if they are RMA it.

does the card need 100% contact? Due to the power build of the case "his choice"!!.
cannot get the GPU 100% in, about 2/3mm off being in at the front of the socket so i can see a little gold on the contacts

yeah its best to get it all in. which end wont go in, the edge of the M/b side where you screw the holder in place?
Is the PCI-E layout the same as AGP where you loose a PCI slot because of the fat GPU fan?

a) doesnt fit in without REALLY pushing it in the slot
b) cant get the bit closest to the edge of the case in.
its the actual lip that the PCI cards skrew into. thats whats causing. Issues. Short of cutting that lip off or sending case back ..........?

do you have another pc with pci express to try it on?
could be DOA - which brand
do you actually get an image out ie is the card working and just the fan not
has it booted into the OS and does it have a speed controller for the fan that won't kick in until the care is hot ??
just a few q's

Super-si,
Something I ended up doing for PCI-E builds was keeping a spare Nvidia 6200 (about 30 quid) to hand (that works), so that if I have problems I can use it to test.
Obviously not a great deal of help, but can help isolate problems, which is useful if you do a lot of system builds for people.
Hope you get it sorted, Alex
