I have a computer that i am installing a video card in. Currently the card running is the onboard. After disabling the onboard through device manager. I installed teh video card into the first PCI slot. (I did try in all the PCI slots) after turning it back on it will only load a black screen from the PCI card. However the onbard still boots. (Black screen will not show anything not even post on the PCI card) I installed the drivers and disabled the onboard. There are video card settings in the BIOs but it only has the option to auto or onboard as a option for settings. Trying both BIOs settings after the driver installed i still get a black screen. The computer is booting but after putting in the PCI card the system seems to not boot fully from what the computer sounds like. I believe this to be a power issue. So i am posting here in order to get a better assessment of the issue before i purchase the new power supply.
PS. while BIOS is set to auto neither will boot
