Can you try the card in another machine ?
Have you another card you can try in that slot ?
Does it show in any BIOS screens during boot ?
Does anything change if you swap cards around slots within the same machine ?

These ought to track down whether it's a card problem, or a machine 
problem, or some combination. I think (though could be wrong) that 
devices should show up with lspci even if there are no drivers loaded 
for them, but just in case it is a software/driver (though the 1250 
is hardly what you could call bleeding edge) issue :

If you boot from an up to date (for example) Knoppix disk, does it show up ?
