PC won't boot after VGA installation

Hi,
I bought MSI R7770 PMD1GD5 but when I install it my PC won't boot up and it gives me no signal, it's like starting the PC without ram installed but my on-board VGA works so I don't think it's the ram. my PC is quite old (Pentium 4 ht 531 - 1gb ddr2 ram - Ecs 662/1066t-m2 - Corsair CX430) so I tried my VGA on my friend's PC (dual core Pentium - 2gb ddr3 ram - Gigabyte ga-g41mt-es2l - CX430) and it worked so please don't tell me your PSU sucks, so my brother will give me ga-g31m-es2l because I doubt that the mobo is causing this problem, but I need to hear your thoughts, what do you think about my problem, should I get a new stick of ram or something?
thanks
 
Maybe look very carefully through all the BIOS options.

It's a long shot, but maybe there is a setting that will generate the behavior you are seeing, such as where the on-board VGA is enabled that if you install a discrete video card the computer will halt. Maybe configure the BIOS to disable the on-board VGA?

Click to expand...

the latest bios update for my mobo was in 2007. I think I would find this option in Integrated Peripherals in bios but I couldn't find anything like that. I'll take pictures for the bios.
 
Did you remember to set the external VGA card as the first priority in the BIOS? If not, many older systems will not boot. You will have to do this using the onboard video.

Hope that helps. 🙂
 
I really doubt you'll get many to dowload a .rar'd file, unload it and potentially unpack who knows what, esp. from a newb. Post a pic, not a compressed file that has to be downloaded and unpacked. Sheesh.
