Hi everyone.
Recently I bought a 2GB radeon graphic card i.e Sapphire HD7850 Dual-X OC version as a replacement/upgrade for my 1GB radeon ASUS EAH 6870. But it seems like my system can't detect the HD7850 from Device Manager view, but before this for the EAH6870 my system can detect it through Device Manager using onboard display before I switch display to the graphic card and after that I disable the onboard graphic.

Back to the HD7850, I've also tried disabling onboard graphic then switch display to the graphic card but the monitor shows "no display", though I think maybe I didn't correctly disable onboard graphic but I assume I did disabled it correctly as the monitor also shows "no display" from the onboard graphic.

My current mobo is ASUS M4A88T-M/USB3, and my PSU is 500watt. The HD7850 dual fan is working so maybe this is not because of power shortage from my PSU? or it is because of power?
Have tested it on a different set of mobo owned by someone else, the result is it works and has display output.
My PCIe slot is not defective as at the moment I am using my spare graphic card.

Appreciate any help and inputs to help me solve this, thanks!

It appears driver package for HD7850 is same as for 6870, same release date, same file size, same file name. So what I did was I uninstall the 6870 from Device Manager, shut down, uninstall the card from mobo, then install 7850 to mobo, but still it is not detected.

Then with the 7850 connected to mobo, I uninstalled the driver package, then re-installing driver package and I got blue stop error screen. Also tried installing driver package first without card connected to mobo, and got the same blue stop error screen.
