Hello.
I got a new graphics card HD RADEON 7850 2GB OC EDITION but when I went through the procedure of fitting it I get no signal to my monitor but when I put my old graphics card back in it works. Have I got a faulty grqphics card or is there something else that could be wrong?

1. Use the old card to uninstall your graphics drivers using driver sweeper and download the latest version of AMD Catalyst.

2. Switch to the new card. You will be running in frame buffer mode when drivers are not installed. If the fans are not spinning, you haven't connected it properly.

3. Install AMD Catalyst.

Does your CPU or motherboard have integrated graphics? You might want to use it to make sure the new card can be recognized.

What CPU do you have? Most 1155 CPUs have IGPs.
