I have a XFS GeForce 9800GT 512mb and i am looking to see if it is compatable with my Gatewat DX4870 motherboard. I put it in at the start and when i plugged in the monitor it could not get a signal from the computer. As soon as I took it out it worked fine. It has a built in intel Graphics. Do i have to get a different video card or am i doing something wrong?
14gb ram 3x4 1x2 Bought the computer a week ago. has PCL express 16.0

I bought my computer a week ago so it is brand new... the video card is very old. And where would i get the driver for the GeForce 9800gt?

you should have built your own. now you got in your hands a bad (or very underpowered power supply)

did you plug in any power cables to the card (if it requires any)

and drivers can be found here
