Or that new power supply could be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not had much issue like that when I installed my new card but try leaving monitor plugged into onboard video, install the new card and drivers and check the Device Manager to make sure windows is not flagging it (with an exclamation mark) for any issues.
