I recently bought an XFX r7 240 to install in my older computer, the specs can be seen here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01949102&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0004#N1079
When I plug the VGA cable into the graphics card I get no display, the card doesnt even show up in device manager. I went into the bios and set the slot its in as the primary display device but it keeps only showing the integrated card. I know the card is getting power because the fan on the card is working. Help?
 
could be the power supply ( not big enough ) or maybe a BIOS update or maybe the machines ( board ) architecture is too old...???

run slimdrivers ( google it )................ with card removed and hooked to onboard.

don't forget to get the newest updates from windows updates.
