I'm having problems installing new video card..?

I bought RAM, and a New video card. The manual for the video card told me to uninstall my current video card drivers (onboard) and then restart, so i did. I then installed the RAM and the new video card and i got "entering power saving mode". And I dont know if that video card is messed up or what. but the rams installed right...now I switched to the old video card, but when I try to start up I get a PITCH BLACK screen..plz help i will give points|||When you switch back to onboard video you have to remove the new video card. Your power supply may not be big enough to power this new card but before you run out and buy a new one check in your bios and make sure video is set to automatic (usually has 3 options, onboard - pci e - auto) also try it in safemode. You can also try disabling power save in the bios. this is a work around but may help figure out what is happening.|||It shouldnt be the drivers because windows will install basic drivers which should give 8 colour. Anyway coming to the point , Ensure you pressed the video card tight enough make sure its in the correct direction and sort of leveled both the sides. Press it down and ensure you install the cables properly. screw the monitor cables in nicely.



Good Luck,
