Pc wont detect gpu?

[Willdke]

Hi guys, so, basically what happened was:
I had windows XP and also had a really bad graphic card.
Decided to upgrade it a little and bought a graphic card but it didnt work.
Old Graphic:
S3 Chrome Graphics Card 512
New one:
Asus Radeon HD 5450 Silent

So basically i try plug in the new graphic card and the Monitor has no signal at all.
While if i plug the old one or onboard it works perfectly.
Tried the new graphic card on another pc and it worked perfectly.
Help Plz?

I had windows XP

Had or have?

Either way, put the old card in, Download the latest driver for your new card and save it to wherever you save your files.
By installing your new card with the old driver from the other card without removing it first is probably the main issue.....
Then.......Remove the old graphic drivers within control panel and shut down your pc.
Install new card and reboot. It should be recognized and then you can install your new driver that you should have already downloaded.
Give that a whirl and hopefully this should be the quick fix.

PCI-E slot not compatible?

Update your motherboard BIOS to the latest.

PCI-E slot not compatible?

This is highly likely if OP has a PCIe v1.1-2.0 board. Nvidia maintained the electrical compatibility when AMD did not.

Update your motherboard BIOS to the latest.

That SHOULD fix it. The powercolor offering of that card specifically states it does not support version 1.0 or 2.0, so YMMV.
