So i need someones help desperatley, i built a PC and i originally had a HD radeon 6870 GPU but there were problems with that whenever i loaded a game itd freeze so i think that graphics card is trash, so i took it out and put in a GeForce GT520 silent and theres no picture on my screen, not even the bios boots up but my system speaker gives off 1 long beep and 3 short beeps, so i need someones help, keep in mind that my other graphics card would run fine even though it would freeze, my PCI slot would still pick up the card, so i dont think its a motherboard issue

my specs are
motherboard: gigabyte GA-970a
ram: dualstix 2x 4gb
psu: corsair 650w
cpu: amd fx-8320 8-core
