Use your old graphics adapter and continue below.

Have the PCI-E slot enabled in BIOS as your graphics adapter (have the graphics card plugged in at this time, then restart with the cable in the graphics card). You can install the GPU drivers after you have the card working, as the drivers don't help if the card isn't recognized.

**If you have the option to select both the PCI and integrated do that, this can save you the problem of it not working. If it doesn't work you'll have to remove the card again.**

As for your post AzzenWazHere; It may appear you have never done a graphics card upgrade before, how do you expect people first time booting to get video? This is the same, if you get a new card and plug that in and plug the monitor cable into the card, it should work.
