I installed the GTX 950 Driver from geforce.com and I put in the GTX 950 card, When I plug in the 1 6-pin connector and turn on the computer, the fan turns on and works, but the screen is completely black. Nothing loads and my monitor just shows that it'll go to sleep. I had a GTX 745 before the 950, and I have to put the gtx 745 back in just to use my computer.

How do I fix this? I can't get into bios or anything since the screen is completely black with the gtx 950 in. What do I do?

HOW TO FIX IT:
- Put in graphics card that came with system and works
- At boot up press F2 until BIOS comes up
- Go to the third tab, "BOOT"
- Set "Secure Boot" to "[Disabled]"

Hope this helped! :)
