So i bought a new graphics card, XFX HD RADEON 7950, Now i also got a new power supply which is a CORSAIR CX500M, I connected everything correctly and I can hear/feel the fan of the graphics card connected correctly, but when I boot it up I'm having trouble with the graphics card displaying, It shows an INTEL(R) HD GRAPHICS, so i discovered I didn't connect my monitor to the graphics card, but because I dont have any VGA Cables I had to use a HDMI cable, there was a HDMI slot available on the graphics card and I switched to my HD LG TV, but for some reason it never picked up any signal on my tv. My computer is and ADVENT DT2410, Heres a link on it http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1475266 Please help!

I think this link will help you : http://www.adventcomputers.co.uk/product-support/how-up...

One more thing you may have to update BIOS. And don't you have any DVI cable or port on the back of your monitor ? All I want to know is, what are the ports available on the back of the monitor.

On the back of my monitor I do have a DVI Cable slot, but currently don't have a DVI cable to test with that because I recently moved into my new place and all of my cables would be back home in another country, that is when i decided to try it with my tv and a hdmi cable but nothing worked, how do i update bios?

I understand your situation, but HDMI cable and the TV will not work at this moment. You have to get a DVI cable to work things out. First get a DVI cable and then if it works I mean if you get the display then you have done it. If you are not getting the display at all with the DVI cable also then the BIOS update will come to play. So first try a DVI cable and please post the reply, then we will see what could be done. Good luck.

I wasn't able to get a DVI cable but I got a DVI adapter and that did not work, I also was told try to disable secure boot and enable legacy in my BIOS settings but that did not work:/

Now I am not familiar with the MB of yours, and couldn't find any info about the MB. So its hard to tell what you should do or not. For now look and search the net for any BIOS update available or not. If available than try to update the BIOS. This is the best I get : http://www.computer-legacy.com/items/hardware/desktop-c...

And a converter/adapter from HDMI to DVI might not work. More info about the GPU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... but I can see three different versions here : http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=E...

So it is best for you to contact the tech support, they may help you. Good luck.
