I recently purchased a graphics card from NewEgg, and it just arrived earlier today. I put it, along with a new Power Supply that could support its minimum 450W requirement. They both fit into my case (an Acer Veriton akin to this) snugly, and I connected them in the appropriate locations. However, the monitor would not automatically 'wake up' when I turned the PC on (Note that the DVI cables were connected to the card).
After several "failed" attempts of uninstalling the integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 4000) drivers, I did some looking around inside, discovering that I'd not plugged in a cord from the PSU into the GPU, so after amending that issue, I turned the computer on to find that it still does not recognize the card. This was after I had installed the latest ATI drivers and the Catalyst Control Center. Instead, when I look at my display drivers in the Device Manager, I get this. In fact, my DVI cable is currently hooked up to the GPU, and the aforementioned screenshot was taken as I type this.
If someone could direct to me some answers, or possibly a fix for this, that would be great. Please keep in mind I'm rather inexperienced with PC building/modifying and have only replaced the GPU/PSU once before.
UPDATE: Problem solved.
