This is my first post, I am almost always able to find my answers about computer questions here by searching. Thank you all for that. I've got a situation that has me a bit frustrated. I am putting together a simple PC for a friend and want to use a GeForce GT740 video card. I cannot get the computer to boot and recognize the card. I've changed the bios settings hoping it would enable the card but no dice. When the machine is set to automatic (or the setting where it can run both on board or outboard graphics simultaneously) the internal video card won't boot either.
Now, out of frustration I tried out my GeForce 210 in this machine and it worked fine. I assume I have a 2.0 PCI express slot, and the 740 says it's compatible. Maybe it really isn't. I am running the recommended 400 (real) watt power supply as well.
Thanks for any input you may have, I greatly appreciate it.
