Installed new video card - Having problems?

I bought a 512 MB ATI Radeon x1650 Pro AGP video card and after installing it nothing showed up on my screen, the computer turned on though. I have a 305watt power supply and running Windows XP Pro SP3.



My AGP slot is x8 and is 3.0

Dell Dimension 8300

1.5GB Ram

3.0GHz Pentium 4

ATI Radeon 9550 256mb|||Hi there,



If you can hear the sounds but can't see anything on the screen, then it should of loaded up the first time and you may have installed the drivers for the card. If so, do the following:



You need to uninstall your previous graphics card driver, or your onboard graphics card driver. To do this, do the following steps below:



1. Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.

2. Login as "Administrator," or another Admin account.

3. Click "Start" and right click "My Computer" and select "Properties."

4. Click the "Hardware" tab and then click "Device Manager."

5. Under "Display Adaptors," right-click "Uninstall" the onboard graphics driver (eg. Intel 82845G Graphics controller etc..).



Once the above steps are done, you may now restart your computer as normal (without safemode) and your graphics card should now be working.|||You didnt disable the onboard video. Plug the monitor back in to the onboard and boot up, install the new card software if you havent yet, open device manager and disable the onboard video, shut down the pc and connect the monitor to the new card, reboot
