My video card broke and I went out to buy a new one. It's broke due to someone (not myself) vacuuming the inside.
The new one is in, and I wanted to install it with the integrated graphics, but I can't get it to work. The screen is black and stays black. Once I disconnect the VGA it says "No Signal" but other than that it's black.
There is no beeps or boops when it turns on. The fans DO spin and I think the new graphics card does have power. (It's an AMD Radeon r5 which I don't believe requires its own power - but that's a whole other issue.)
So, what do I do? I can't access the BIOS, or anything for that matter, so I'm kinda stuck here.
I thought that perhaps the motherboard broke but I wanted to check here before I take it in.
EDIT: I should add that the video card specifically told me not to put in the disk until I'm prompted to do so, which I wasn't so far because I can't see it.
