Help please

I just bought a 9600GT to replace my 7600GS, this is on a m7500e HP PC. I had no idea it couldnt support a high profile card, so we filed down the video card bracket and got it to fit, and everything seems to be connected right we hooked up the 6 Pin Power connector and the fans spinning and the card is definetley powered on. But I cant seem to get video on it, and Windows is not picking it up just the integrated video card. Its might first time dealing with setting up the power connectors and what not. I might have messed up their, I have disabled on-board in the BIOS, The only connectors I set up is the 6 pin they gave me, and i hooked it into the card and used the molex connectors up to some spares ones i had in the pc.

Dear Need,

I can think of three possible problems: the card is not the right form factor for your case, so even though you filed off the high profile bracket, it still may not be seated correctly in the PCIe slot.

Second is the power supply--don't know the specs on it, but does it put out enough amps to power the new card? Alot of prebuilt machines like HP and Dell don't have a lot of headroom on the power supply--cuts costs for them to match power output to stock configuration.

Third: drivers. Did you delete the old drivers, and have the new drivers ready to go?

You may have to put the old card back in, delete the old drivers, etc, then put new card in, install new drivers.
