Windows 7 - Having trouble with ATI Radeon HD 2400 |

Having trouble with ATI Radeon HD 2400 Don't judge me, my card is rather outdated but was affordable.
Anyways, I can't seem to get my PC to find it.
I can't get it to boot from it in BIOS either because I can't get BIOS to work either. If that makes no sense, please understand, i'm a noob.
I bought a cable so I could hook up the card to my monitor, and I did.
However, when I turn on the computer after the card is hooked up to the monitor, the computer's fan just blows and it won't turn on.
Dxdiag information is attached.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Hello rawringlemon and Welcome to Seven forums.
Shut down, take the 2400 out, attach the monitor to the onboard Intel graphics. See if you can get into BIOS now. Post back results. Sometimes we are a bit slow in responses, but will get back to you. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Brittechnologies II OS Windows 7 Ultimate X86 SP1 CPU i5-2550K differing speeds depending on the day Motherboard ASUS P8X68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz, 4X4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans @1300 RPM Hard Drives TBA Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Other Info 5 fans, LG Bluray/R/RE, ASUS DVD/R/RW |

Currently my monitor is connected to the onboard intel graphics, which I how I am on my computer right now.
Also: Someone told me that if I hook up the card to my monitor, and if I have the type of BIOS that is listed in my dxdiag.txt file, then I won't need to do anything with the BIOS, and it will recognize it on it's own.
One other thing: I can't seem to find PCI-E Bus listed in Device Manager.
Can someone help?

Why aren't you able to get into BIOS the first place?
That's strange. It's either you mash "DEL" when the computer boots or F8.. (I've owned a past history of Asus boards so it's DEL for me)
But here's the risky part, once you access BIOS, you'll need to disable onboard video and reboot into the 2400, this is where the risky part comes in- It's either you get video or you're stuck without it.
It could also mean you lack a sufficient power supply to power the card itself..

First try this on the card, Windows 7 Compatibility: Software Programs & Hardware Devices: Find Updates, Drivers, & Downloads
Then follow this to add your system specs. System Info - See Your System Specs
Step five has links to show you how too add to your profile so they are readily available in each post.

This came up: Windows 7 Compatibility for ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT PCI-E 512MB Graphics Card: ATI. Drivers, Updates, Downloads
So, it should be compatible.
Also: I added in my System Specs that are necessary for this topic.
and I can get into BIOS when my monitor is hooked up to the onboard video card, but I was told that since I have the type of BIOS that I have, it will automatically detect the card, and I won't have to do anything.
But, when I hook the card up to my monitor, the monitor stays black, and the computer won't turn on, the computer and the video card's fans just blow.
Can anybody think of anything i'm doing wrong?

Since you can go to your BIOS check to see if there is a setting for graphics. May have options like onboard or PEG (PCIe Graphics). Your motherboard make and model may be helpful too. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Brittechnologies II OS Windows 7 Ultimate X86 SP1 CPU i5-2550K differing speeds depending on the day Motherboard ASUS P8X68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz, 4X4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans @1300 RPM Hard Drives TBA Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Other Info 5 fans, LG Bluray/R/RE, ASUS DVD/R/RW |

Nothing's there.
Any other ideas?

Two things, is the monitor plugged in to power? One person had this problem and found he forgot to plug it in.
Download new drivers for your card: Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7
Save to your desktop and use http://phyxion.net/item/driver-sweeper.html ti uninstall your PCIe CARD drivers. Install the proper driver.
I have no clue what your motherboard is, that is appropriate to this issue. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Brittechnologies II OS Windows 7 Ultimate X86 SP1 CPU i5-2550K differing speeds depending on the day Motherboard ASUS P8X68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz, 4X4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans @1300 RPM Hard Drives TBA Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Other Info 5 fans, LG Bluray/R/RE, ASUS DVD/R/RW Having trouble with ATI Radeon HD 2400 problems?
