Ok so I just bought a new 8800GT card, got it in the mail today. I put the card in hooked it up like I should and such, but when I power up I get a black screen.
So I hooked up the old onboard card again to power it up and I don't get the Add new hardware messege.
I rechecked the card to make sure it's set right and it's getting power and it is, the fan is turning and everything. I tried disabeling the old onboard video card and I still get a black screen when I power it up connected to the 8800.
I can't figure out why my machine isn't finding the new card...Please I need help! Two days until Conan and I don't have a working Video card AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Here's my machine specs
AMD Athalon64X2 5600 + Socket AM2 duel-core processor
Hitachi 250GB 0A33423 Sata2 U300 7200RPM *MB RoHS Hard drive
Gigabyte GA-M62SME-S2 Socket AM@ NVIDIA GfForce 6100 DDR2-800 PCI.e board
4Gigs Corsair 6400 DDR-2
500 Watt power supply
I hope to god I didn't get a dead card. I dunno a way to test it to see if it's working or not if I can't find it on my Hardware list...

Uninstalled old drivers, and from what I've read it only has the 6-prong connection. Still not reading new hardware when I boot from my onboard card. And still a black screen when I boot from the 8800.

Tried a couple things, still no luck. I updated what I did on the EF boards so if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.
