Hi everyone,
I just purchased a GTX650 Ti Boost graphics card to replace my old Nvidia GeForce 9800GT graphics card. After placing the new graphics card in the computer, before windows boots, a black screen with a blinking underscore symbol flashes non stop.
The only way to access my windows is to hit the F8 function and go in that way. While in there I created a backup recovery disc just in case something was to go wrong.
Please, I need all the help, ideas, and explanations I can get to fix this issue. Going in with F8 is causing severe lag and making the computer move very, very slow in general.
Here are my specs:
-AMD Phenom II X4 820 Processor.
-450 watt power block.
-32 GB installed RAM
-M5A97 EVO Motherboard.
Also, is it possible that unhooking things from the motherboard and replacing them while installing the graphics card cause a problem? The computer was off of course.
Thank you so much for any information and help!
Katie
