    GPU Install Issues

     
    I've been trying to install my new geforce 8400gs graphic card but as soon as i turn on the computer it freezes and won't let me run the disc or do anything. It works fine when i remove the card but the built in card isn't enough to play games on. not sure what to do next please help.

    Welcome to TechIMO !

    You probably need to disable the on-board graphics in the BIOS.
    Or maybe set the new card to boot first, depending on what the options are in the BIOS.

    What kind of card AGP or PCI-express?

    You probably got a defective card.
