When the system powers on and the Debug LED shows the usual POST code sequence but hangs on 2b or you get a beep code as soon as the sequence reaches 2b, then the Mainboard cant detect your Videocard properly.
Check if there is something wrong with the PCIE slot or BUS, the Monitor or monitor cable.
Try cleaning the PCIE slot with an air duster. Turn the Monitor on and off, switch the Monitor cable from one D-SUB or DVI plug to the other in case your Videocard has two.
If that doesnt help try moving to a different PCIE slot. If that doesnt help either try another Videocard on same system if possible.

And of course, if oyu have multiple slots, try all of them.
Make sure that it's plugged in (hahaha...seriously though, make sure both PCI-E plugs are solidly plugged into the card, and that they're plugged into the PSU as well if you have a modular PSU)
Make sure there are no BIOS settings related to "what kind of video card to look for" in the BIOS -- sometimes you have to specify.
Some older MOBOs have a small card that looks like a DIMM between the 2 PCI-E slots that is used to turn SLI on/off. This can affect your video cards, of course.
Make sure the video card is firmly seated in the slot.
How many PCI-E slots are there? Are you putting it in the primary one? What other card(s) do you have in your PC?

I get the POST code error 2b when trying to boot with an Ati HD5870.(graphic card is from ATI not other company)
My system is:Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME, I7-920, 6GB Corsair DDR3 ram and PSU is Corsair 620HX.
I have tried BIOS version F12 and F13Q and still the same error.
I have tested the graphic card on another system and it boots ok. With a 500w noname PSU.
Any help/suggestions?Thank you
P.S. Error 2B means "Invoke video BIOS" (from MB manual)
