having trouble with graphics card
Hey guys, umm well first off, my friend was skimming through a thrift store in the board games section. and someone there had put an ASUS EN7600GS Silent in there because the box is about the same size as a board game. price tag on it was $1.99 so my friend immediatly grabbed it knowing what it was. Later to find his computer doesnt support PCI-E he then gave it to me. with that said.
When i put the hardware in the slot. change the BIOS to PCI-E. load up the computer and by the time windows is done loading my screen shuts off saying there's no input. Why? i've tried again and again. I tried installing the new nvidia driver and it wont let me. something about hardware but i cant remember exactly what it said.
Does anyone know why else my graphics might not be working?
wait now looking at the front of my computer it says under Graphics: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 but i dont see where it is at or how do i replace it. My computer is just a regular ol' HP, i got 1gig RAM a pentium 4 200Gig HD
If anyone has any advise, lemme know please, Thank you kindly.

Usually when computer parts hit a thrift store they are broken. I would expect a broken video card. The ATI Xpress 200 graphics is your north bridge. Its an integrated video that is superceded when another video card is plugged in.
ah ok. well it didn't seem used because i believe everything was still in its packaging. Probably the case though. huh. well thnks
