IBM Thinkcentre S50 + Nvidia Geforce fx5500

Hi,

I'm trying to install this graphics card into my PC, but all I get is a buzzing, and nothing loads up.

I'm assuming the buzzing means its not installed correctly, but as far as I can tell, it is.

Any hints?

If you have on board video be sure it is disabled in the BIOS. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall your drivers. Reboot and let windows pick up your device. Install your updated drivers. Double check your card is properly seated. Good luck!
