So i decided to upgrade my graphics card from an XFX 7850 to the XFX 7870. i installed the new graphics card and nothing happened. The Mother board is getting power but when I press the power button nothing happens at all. I tried removing a stick of RAM i tried unplugging the dvd drive and seeing if i could get some more power. But still nothing whatsoever. I then reinstalled the old graphic card and everything booted up just fine. I don't know if its the power supply or maybe the motherboard not recognizing my Card. Here are the specs.

Phenom ii x4 955 black
8gb RAM
700w KDM PSU
2 Seagate HDD
1 LG DVD drive.

Yes. Uninstall the old drivers. This will fix your problem most likely ;)
