EEK! [SOLVED] New video card issues... monitor not recognised.

hey, as is apparent by the title, my new gpu seems to stop the monitor working. this has happened before with a new ram chip, which i had to end up taking out. my pc was taken down to the computer store to get a dual monitor gpu (sorry, i dont remember what brand and model it is), and to get the ram chip checked and put back in (the one that was giving me issues before)

Now apparently it was working perfectly at the store, but once i got it home the pc wouldnt recognise the monitor. Yknow the beep that's supposed to sound at startup to show recognition of the monitor? Well that doesnt sound. I took out the ram that caused this before, which did nothing, so i've come to the conclusion that it's the graphics card.

I've tried two different monitors, and two cables (both female vga). I couldnt find a dvi cable to test if it worked.

Please help?

p.s. i'm not much of an IT geek (unfortunately ) so please speak in lay terms :p
