Solution
The basic process is:
shutdown
Install card and screw down the back part
Boot the system
Try both integrated and the new card connected to the monitor because some BIOSes select automatically and some are manual.
If you don't see anything on the new card, then set the BIOS to use PCI-E graphics
Install drivers
