Black screen after installing GeForce GT220
So when I bought this video card today (GeForce GT220 if you didn't read the title) everything seemed to be going well until the reboot after the installation of the drivers. Everything starts up fine then it suddenly turns into a black screen after the Windows loading screen. The screen is black for a minute or two then goes into a blue screen and reboots itself. I've done many of the procedures other people has posted but nothing seems to work. If anyone can help me out that would be wonderful.
Computer: Dell Inspiron 530
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU 2.33GHz
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Installed last week from 32-bit Vista)
I'm not sure how to find the detail on my motherboard so if someone can help me out on that, thanks.
