Hi! My screen is black after i swap video-card. I couldnt find the name of my motherboard, but the computer modelname is "Acer-TC-105". When i swap the graphics card the screen is just black when i start it. I got all the cables plugged, but its still black at start.

Did you mean you took out the GPU by swap? Okay,if you added another card,did you plug in the monitor to the VGA Card? You may have to make sure the RAM is perfectly fitted in the slot as well. If you have no card in your PC now,just make sure the cable is properly connected between the Motherboard and Monitor.
Thanks for a quick reply.
I did change the graphics card. My current and the one that came witht he comptuer is AMD RADEON 8470.
The one i tried to change to is GTX 650.
When i then turn on the computer the screen is just black. I cant get any further.
(Im pretty new to computers and all this, so i dont know so much. I got some basic knowledge, but that's it)

I seriously doubt the PSU of yours.If your PC is this,Acer Aspire TC-105 W8,http://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90524335/acer-aspire-tc-105.asp#data
then you have a 200W PSU,which won't be enough to power up the whole system including the 650.
Since the PSU is just 200W,it may not be able to power the system,when a power difference of 25-30 Watt occurs (GTX 650 Max. power consumption-60-65 Watt and the 8470 Max. power consumption- 35 Watt )
Just try the 650 with another PSU. It should work.

Well,what's the brand of the PSU? Though it doesn't matter at all,just to see if it's good enough. And,what's the current in the 12V rail of the PSU? Has it got an external 6 pin power connector,which you'd need to connect to the 650,imagining that the 650 i not the E(Asus Power efficient) version?
And to test if it's the GPU,you could remove the GPU out of your system,and connect the monitor directly to the Motherboard,and start the PC to see if it boots.

Hey. I dont really know so much about this as i said earlier, but i know somewhat the basics (And most likely less)
I had some details wrong here, its a "ACE A-750BR" i think. its on 750 W. the psu is 750 W, not 620. I changed that when i got the computer, and it seems fine.
I couldn't find anything more, since im not good at this, but i have tested it on another computer and it started all good there (Packard bell ixtreme m5722)
So i dont think its a PSU-related problem.
could it be that the the card isnt compitable with my motherboard or something?
(Sorry for bad english and not full knowledge, as said im not good at computers)

I don't think you need a screwdriver to open up your case and take out a GPU 
. Unless the slots aren't using thumbscrews.

Okay,let me ask you which is your motherboard.I can't find the detailed specs of your system now.Don't know why.Anyway,just give me the name of the mobo if possible. And,since the system turns on and works fine now,you just check the card on another system to see if it works.
Hey!
Sorry, but i cant seem to find the name of it, but i got following:
BIOS name : P11-B1
Not quite sure if this helps. cant seem to find Motherboardname in my Dxdiag.
And yes, the card (Gtx 650) works perfectly with other computers

Try looking at the motherboard for a name or anything helpful.Or use CPUz for getting some info about the board.

And seeing that the card works fine in other PC,it's either your PSU or your Motheboard that's the problem.I'm looking at the PSU,since the other card works fine in your system.Anyway,let's not leave MB,and take a look at it as well.
Hi again!
When i checked the motherboard model with CPUz it just says "Acer Aspire tc-105". I can add some other info toh
Brand: America Megatrends inc.
Version: P11-B1
Chipset: AMD | A55/A60M/A88 FCH
Southbridge: AMD/ A55/A60M
LPCIO: ITE | IT8772
Link witdh: x16 | Max Supported: x16 ( I think its the PCI express)
Manufacturer: Acer

Okay,with that A10-5700,and the FM2 Socket,I don't think there's any compatibility issue between the mobo and the 650.So I'm leaning towards the PSU problem,which can't be denied. Now you open the case,and take a look at the PSU.You may see some voltage and power details on one of its sides.Like.... +3V,+5V,+12V.....And 17A,24A....etc etc....Check those numbers,and look for the one with 12V.Below that 12V,you'll see how much current that 12V rail carries...Like...17A,19A and so....Look for that number,and post the results...
If you don't see any such number,please try to get at least a brand name and model of the PSU,which will be written on it.
If you are unable to find any of that as well,I'd say you put the 650 in the system,get a friend's decent PSU and power up your system with that,to see if it works fine.If it does,get your PSU replaced some decent PSU.
Try these and post the results please...

Hi again, and thanks for a good reply
So i won't be able to get the PSU because i just went on a holiday. I'll be bk at sunday and post the results.
But as i ment earlier, i tried the PSU and the GPU on another system and that worked all fine so i dont think its a problem with the PSU.

You tried the PSU and GPU? I mean...Did you take out both your PSU and GPU,took it to a friends' and put both of them into his system and worked it?
If you did that,then you're right,it's not the PSU.Now what I'm saying is,get a PSU from the friend,a good one and put that on your PC,along with your motherboard and the 650.If the system boots up,don't worry it's your PSU.But if it doesn't,maybe we need to take a look at the mobo seriously.
If you tried it on your friend's PC,it should be such that,your 650 and your PSU are on the same system,working at the same time,coz,if it isn't that,way,it'll turn out that your mobo is faulty.But if that PC doesn't boot up with both those components on it,then you need to doubt your PSU.Anyway,do some more troubleshooting once you're back...Good luck

Before i got my new "Acer Aspire tc-105" i used to have this GTX 650 and the 750 W PSU on my old computer, and they worked perfectly togheter.
So i tried it on the old computer again and it semmed fine. it started just as it should.
The problem is (on my new computer) that after i press the button the screen just says "No signal". It does boot up, but its like it cant find the card or something.
I also tested it with another 600 W psu i got from a friend. That one had the same results. But i wil let it sleep for now and try again when i get back.
Thanks for the help, it was really helpful

Actually,was that 600W branded one? And,what were the specs of your old PC? Can you remember it?
Well, the specs are:
Packard bell unit (Motherboard, socket am2)
AMD PHENOM 2 || x4 quad core or something
GTX 650 (Its where i used to have the video card before)
750 W PSU (The one i also use in the new one)
1 TB HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium
8 Gigs of ram
I think that's it
