Hey guys, im new to this board and i have recently been getting into computers more. This question may be dumb but here goes:
I just bought a Radeon 9250 video card and tonight i tried to install it. The directions told me to plug my monitor cable into the new card after i installed it, and then restart my computer. I did and at that point there was no picture on my monitor so i plugged it back into its original slot. After doing this, at no point did my computer say "found new hardware". Before leaving for work, i decided to run the software and since then i had to leave for work. Is it normal for this not to find new hardware or am i doing something completly wrong? If you guys wouldnt mind, i could use some step by step instructions. Thanks in advance.
Stay well,
Joe
