Help! Sapphire HD3450 + Asus V7v880
Hello all, new to this board and new to W7, but I've got a problem I'm hoping someone can help me solve.
I've got a rather old system that I installed W7 on, and I only realized after the fact that my current graphics card-nvidia mx400 is wholly inadequate to run W7. I purchased the Sapphire HD 3450 to upgrade, but when I install it, I get nothing, my monitor stays blank with the amber signal. I tried unistalling the current drivers and the other intial steps, but at this point I'm stumped.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it that my system is too old/incompatible with the new card? I've read as many of the tutorials and threads as I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated! TIA.
