Need help with my 9800GT graphics card
I was given this card as a Christmas gift and I recently installed it (or tried to, at least)as well as a new PSU on my Windows 7 PC. The card is a 9800GT 1GB GDDR3 PCI-e graphics card. The problem is that it was never detected as new hardware, nor does it show up in the device manager.
I have an onboard video card that is a 6150 LE. I can see video when I hook it up to the onboard video card, but when I connect my monitor to the graphics card, there is only a black screen.
I was wondering if anyone could provide some helpful tips for this. I'm getting desperate; I tried getting the card to work all day today with no luck. I know there are some other threads with this same video card, but the majority of them do have the video card in the device manager. This situation may be more unique. I'll provide my comp specs if needed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
