Monitor will not come on. Had a dual video card before but was broken
so installed a regular video card now but cannot get the monitor to
come on. Not sure what else to do, I actually got a second video card
because i thought the first was defective.

press F8 or whichever key you need on booting to initiate the safe mode
start up screen. From their choose enable vga mode and carry on.
