OK I just bought a new video card,
`Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 1Gb GDDR4 PCIx16
I have tried everything to get the computer to Recognize this card.
I will display all my compouter stats below.
Ok so here are the steps i followed to install my new video card.
1.)Disable On-board video in device manager.
2.)Disable On-board video in BIOS(I dont have this option to do this in my bios.
3.)Shutdown computer and install new Video card
4.) Install new video card drivers.
ok so i followed these steps and first off, I don't have an option anywhere to disable my on-board video in my BIOS.
second i cant even find a manual to see if there is a physical jumper on the mobo.
SO THIS IS MY MAIN PROBLEM THIS IS WHAT I NEED ANSWERED.
My computer will not even recognize it as uninstalled hardware. nothing shows up. no "found new hardware", no nothing.
YES PEOPLE IT DOES WORK THE FAN MOVES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE CARD COME ON.
ok here is my computer specs
