I have a GT5228 Gateway Computer, and recently, my friend gave me his graphics card he doesn't use anymore, I believe it was the GT240, and I plugged it into my PCI-E slot and turned on my computer and it has no signal.
I tried first by hooking up the VGA to my Graphics card and setting the monitor to VGA and I had no signal, than I tried hooking up the graphics card to DVI and my monitor to DVI and still have no signal.
The only way my PC works is if I connect my VGA onto the motherboards VGA slot which uses the on board graphics card, but if I connect anything to the stand alone GFX card, I have no signal.
What gives?
