Im having some trouble with a new graphics card i purchased. I bought
a XFX 8600gt Geforce nvidia card. I am replacing a Nvidia 6800
geforce.

My system specs are:
Dell XPS Gen4 3.2 ghz
2gb ram
17"monitor
PCI-E x16 slot for the card (black colored)

My problem is when i uninstall my current card which is the nvidia
6800 and put in my new xfx card, and start up the computer nothing
comes on the screen. The monitor is just black, but the computer is
on. I was wondering if the box says it is for screen sizes 19-30"
would that be the reason why i cannot see anything I cannot
understand the type of problem i am having, whether it is a
compatibility problem or anything. Any information or answers would
be greatly appreciated

I don't know the exact answer or solution but
it sounds like your system cannot handle that
card.

Have you checked with nVidia Support?

The following article is for a different card but
I suspect yours may be experiencing a similar
issue:

7950 GX2 graphics card is installed
