Hello everyone.
I'd like to start by saying that I'm not THAT good with computers. I'm competent enough to install major components like a graphics card or RAM, but aside from that, I don't know that much. I just upgraded my graphics card from a EVGA GTX 680 to an EVGA GTX 1070. I've upgraded the graphics card once before so I'm familiar with how to do it. When I installed the new card however, I get no start up screen. The computer beeps as it usually does when I first turn it on (something to do with the BIOS I think?) but then I get no startup screen and it gives me 1 long beep and 2 short beeps followed by continuous beeping. I have since reinstalled my old card and now the computer boots up as it normally does and all is well. I'm not sure if the new card is DOA or if I just missed a step somewhere in the installation process. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I bought the computer pre-built a number of years ago. It's a Gateway FX6860-UR10P.
