Invidia GeForce Not working

[PrettiBoi]

I bought a new video card Invidia GeForce. I Disable my other graphic card and turn off my computer. Open my computer up and put in the new video card. Once I do that nothing on the monitor appears like it doesn't take no signal. The computer turns on and everything but I can't see nothing on the monitor. Can someone please tell me what's happening?? Thanks alot

how did you disable your old video? in the bios? does your new card need power? reinstate your first video and remove it in the device manager, then try it.

looks like whosdat wants you to verify that the old video card will still work in the motherboard, cause...

video cards have to function at a basic level (without the drivers i think), otherwise how could you see BIOS ?

If your new card won't even work in BIOS, I'd be inclined to think it was bad.

Inspect it for jumpers, maybe you need to set one or something. Also look for physical damage, burn evidence, etc...

Is it seated properly in the slot ? Is it locked ?

If it were another piece of hardware, I'd say install the drivers first (using the old card) and then change the cards out, so the new drivers would be available on boot. But I can't believe a video card needs special drivers just to display BIOS.
