I have hp dx2355 km421av which is pretty old I can play crysis 1 in it. So I thought of putting a new gpu to replace the intergrated NVIDIA graphics . I bought a galaxy geforce 9400 gt which is low profile and does fit in the pci-e slot...

Then I shutdown my pc removed power and installed the new gpu and switched it on it opened normal with half blank screen so I clicked to install new driver update when it was installing the screen gave a video tdr failure and reboots normal with half screen any help will be appreciated..

You need to do more research before you just buy new parts. There are things such as drivers and power usage that need to be considered before you do things like this...I know this may not be the most helpful response, but Google, and tech guys at your computer store can be very helpful in making sure you don't do something like this to your computer :(
