After installing a new 1GB radeon HD 5450 (I know it's bad, but it's better than a 2400) my monitor/display won't come up with anything, it's completely black and yes it's properly plugged in and all. I've read about BIOS and how you need to disable onboard graphics but I don't see how it's possible if there's no display?

DUDE, REMOVE THE BATTERY FOR A MINUTE OR TWO! IT WORKED WITH MINE! then try booting it up with just 1 ram.
hope this would help you! Dammit resetting the CMOS on a Dell Precision is so complicated I don't even want to try

Ok guys. In this case, try to update your Bios, if a newer version is available.
If you can start the PC in Safe Mode, check your motherboard version, and then check online if you have a newer version.
Id yes, flash the new Bios version: http://www.wikihow.com/Update-Your-Computer's-BIOS

1. Remove card.2. Clear CMOS by removing the battery on the motherboard for about 1 minute.
3. Remove all old GPU drivers, if any.
4. Connect the card and start the PC still with on-board graphics, in order to only install the drivers. At this stage, the monitor is still connected to the mobo.
5. Boot up PC, go into bios and disable integrated graphics, save and shut down.
6. Move the monitor cable from mobo to GPU.
7. Start up the PC, and report back here if still not working.
I can't put in the card to install the drivers cause of the black screen thing? Am I just really stupid or something? And yes it's connected to the mobo port.
