I am getting a black screen and no boot 'beep' from the mobo after installing my new graphics card into my PC. It's the eMachines W4885, I just added another 512mb stick to up the Ram to 1 gig. We're not going to be using the computer for anything but online gaming, so more Ram wasn't necessary.

The card I got is the ATI Radeon Stealth S120 (AGP 256mb/DDR), and upon following the instructions of disabling the onboard graphics driver, installing the new card, booting and waiting for the prompt to insert the driver cd I get exactly... nothing. System will not boot.

I do know that some systems require you to go into the BIOS at boot to change the settings, but I don't even know where to look when I'm there.

Help?

Thanks,

Conny :D
