So, I was going to sell an older graphics card that I had and I wanted to test it(radeon hd 5670). I put it in my pc and everything was fine until I put back my original graphics card(gt 730). All fans are spinning but no display. I've tried uninstalling the display drivers since I downloaded the Radeon drivers but with no success. The card is seated properly beacouse I tried it numerous times and the dvi cable is good since it works with the Radeon card

Have you tried booting in safe mode via your motherboard's onboard graphics card & then disabling it under device manager? I had to do that & then physically remove & reinstall my new graphics card to get it to send a signal to the monitor. Quite a common issue it seems...

The problem is that I can't access the on-board graphics since my motherboard doesn't have a dvi port and I don't have a vga or hdmi at hand right now. Does it work if I boot into safe mode and disable the drivers from the radeon card and then switch to the GeForce? Thanks in advance

I don't know, I'm a bit out of my depth here to be honest. Try it while you wait for someone more knowledgeable to turn up I guess?
