    Agree with the other two answerers ,you can't just simply hook up a new graphic card without disabling the intergrated graphic card or uninstalling the old graphic card drivers, take out the card restart the pc if a display ,go to the bios and disable the the onboard graphic card,shutdown and unplug the pc , install the new card ,plug back in , restart the pc, should have a display internal graphic vga driver kick in, if found new hardware show up cancel it , and install the cd software drivers

    Use the PCI card. you may get get a no sign if the determination you place isn't known via the video demonstrate. This commonly happens with TVs. additionally some video demonstrate contraptions, like mine, will demonstrate the message for some 2nd as quickly as I first stat up the pc.
