Got new video cards for a few IBM/Lenovos. Model number of computers = 9965-A9U.
Video Cards = Radeon 5450
I installed it successfully on one computer with a lot of trouble. After about 10 resets somehow it started working and I really didn't know what I did! *sigh*
So I go to the next computer and can't get it to work. Here are my steps
1. Uninstalled old drivers.
2. Reset computer and went into BIOS and changed anything I could that look related to the video card. I only found one setting that specificly asked if you wanted the video to show up on boot. Changed it to PCI Express.
3. Installed new card and plugged DVI monitor into new video card.
4. Boot up and get system beeps. Looked into the beeps and I believe I'm getting the one for the system board. (Whatever that means) There is no display thru the new video card. If I plug the monitor back into the motherboard video it works.
Am I missing a step? I haven't had this much trouble before.
