Recently I tried to install a new graphic card but Ive had some issue. The first being that when I installed the new card It would only come up as a black screen so I tried to figure a solution. I looked online and people have been having similar issues but there are ways to fix it through bios. The second issue is that when I try to launch bios it come up with a black screen and cusor I waited for awhile to see if it loaded but nothing came up. If you have any way to fix this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

My specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-h61m-ds2
Graphic card Im trying to install: gigabyte gtx 760
Graphic card I want replaced with the 760: gigabyte radeon 6770
Cpu: i7 2600
Power supply: Not to sure its 750 watts and its not modular
