Well,
I don't really know what to do, I've spent almost 3 weeks trying to get a new graphics card working, and still nothing works...
It all started about 2 and a half weeks ago when I was browsing Best Buy, I saw a graphics card I really wanted and was a good deal for the price, it was a VisionTek Radeon HD 5670 1gb ddr5, the box looked like this:
I bought it, brought it home and installed it in my computer, replacing my old Nvidia 9500GT 512mb, turned my computer on and nothing.... Not even the bios screen nor any startup sounds. So I took it back, talked to one of the guys at geeksquad, they said it could be a bad card OR your power supply isn't enough, I had a 400w and that's what the card required, 400w or more... So I exchanged the card and got a new one... Same thing happened. So then I think its the power supply, so I looked at power supplies at best buy and they were too expensive, I didn't have another $100 to spend on just a power supply. So I ended up getting my money back for the card, which costed $150, and I went to NewEGG.
With the help of a friend, I found a great deal on the same card but different manufacture, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...S%205670%201gb. The HIS HD 5670 1gb ddr5, So I buy that along with a 450w power supply, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-057-_-Product. They both came out to around $160.
About an hour ago, they both were delivered, I installed both of them started up my computer and......
NOTHING.
So at this point idk what to do, so i'm asking help from you guys.
Computer Specs:
Note: there's only 1 other card, which is some modem with the phone jack, I've tried the graphics card with and without this modem card and nothing works.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!
