I've searched and searched and searched...
I have a ASUS M2R32-MVP motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 3.1GHz CPU, 8gb ram running on Windows 8. Power supply is CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V.
I wanted to upgrade my old video card ASUS EAH4850 TOP/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card.
I purchased MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card.
I uninstalled the old card in device manager, turned off the computer and installed the new video card. On boot, I don't see the splash screen of the bios (latest upgrade) and then i see a cursor blinking and the screen goes blank. It definitely is loading windows because i can login and turn off the computer with the keyboard. I can also load BIOS. There is no on-board video.
I put back the old card and it works fine. So i decided to leave the original one in the blue PCI slot and put the new one in the black PCI slot. Windows detected it and i was able to install the drivers but once i take out the old one and put the new one in the blue PCI slot; the same thing happens.
I am completely lost...I am a bit of a noob but usually i can search and find the solution. I haven't been able to so that's why im posting here.
Thanks everyone for helping me.
