i just treated myself to a graphic card update, so i went with the 6950.



well, plopped it in, plugged everything in, started it up and the screen stayed black, fans on the graphics card were running though, so i thought, alright, just need to install the drivers.



installed the drivers, restarted my computer, bam, same thing, screen still black.



in ccc, and another program i used ( Sandra ) they both told me i was running on a hd 4200 which im quite sure is my intergrated card.



i've tried putting the card back in and out, re-installing the drivers, changing what plugs i used for the power supply ( it takes 2, 6 pins ) and to no avail as of yet :[!



My computer spec is :



AMD Phenom II X4 965 ( 3.4 ghz quad core )

ASUS M4A785-M

LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W

and 5.5 gb of ram



thanks for any help offered in advance!!
