Keep in mind I know next to NOTHING on computers.
A lot of tech-savvy people were positive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ightech+H955H256-1TOAN+Radeon+9550+256MB+128-
this card would work and so when it came I was excited. We took out our old card (everything was unplugged and turned off), inserted the new card, it fit in, then we put in the monitor cord in the back and all the rest of the cords. We turned it on and (we have windows XP) it came to the screen where it has the Microsoft windows symbol with a white bar below it where normally blue squares travel from left to right like loading, but in this case, nothing was happenning in the loading bar.
After a couple of minutes, all the colors go wonky. Like blue becomes purple and white becomes light blue et cetera. Soon after that I hear the windows start-up noise, as if I should be looking at my desktop while I'm looking at a strangely colored not loading loading bar and windows symbol.
When we boot in safe mode it goes to a black screen with vertical green pixel lines going down. This EXACT problem happenned once before, but we're positive we put it in fine and frankly it looks like it should work. I have no idea what's going on. I'll do whatever steps ect it takes to fix this problem.
New computer is out of the question.
