Hello, I recently bought a new Graphics card(Nvidia GeForce GT240 1GB PCI-E)and whenever I try to turn the computer on with the new GPU in the system freezes on startup.
I get a screen saying stuff like System recovery = F11 etc. I am currently running an ATI Radeon Xpress 700 Integrated which works fine but I wanted something with a bit more power.
My Mobo is http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00783614&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_UKEN#N33
I tried a new Power supply going from a 300w to a 580w to see if that was the problem but I still get the same Issue on startup. It's outputting that image but freezes. Like windows won't start at all. When I take it out the system works fine on the integrated s the new PSU works fine.
I've tried disabling the integrated one first in display manager then turning it off and changing BIOS Graphics proirity to PCI-E then saving, turning it off then removing power cables etc. putting new card in and reassembling everything and turn it on and that's where it freezes, If i take it out without changing anything It works fine just running a low res version and still works when i re enable the integrated one.
I have tried everything I know of and I really want this GPU to work. If there really is no alternative can someone suggest what to do with the new Nvidia card and suggest a suitable replacement.
I can put up the dxdiag results if you need me too.

What if it doesn't work and the ATI one is uninstalled will I still be able to get onto the comp ? 
still get the same freeze on startup.
