If you have another PCI slot try it, also be sure the drivers were loaded, although a basic set of windows default drivers should work for the system to identify it. What operating system is it?

System has to recognize NEW equipment. You need drivers. Either download drivers from manufacturer' site OR use included disc. http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5450-overview/Pages/hd-5450-overview.aspxAnd, as Vermont C. mentioned, check in BIOS which video You use.

Need some more information; what operating system are you using? Did you install the drivers for the card? I believe the drivers disk in the box is pretty outdated, downloading from the manufacturer website will give you the latest. You may also need to modify your system BIOS to use the PCI video card vs any card built in to the motherboard (typical VGA output).

Good question Debbie, does your computer have a vga port already? Your bios might be set to that port. Better yet how many pci express slots. My board has two, only one will recognize this card! Hope this helps or email me at bnonut@yahoo.com please title the email afxamd video. will need to know make of your system. Mark

Could be a bad screen, do you have anything else to tested it with? Also double check the cord on both sides is secure, one side going into the new display other side going in motherboard/graphics card.

You can just make sure you uninstall the drivers for it while it is still plugged in. Once they're uninstalled remove the old card and add the new one. Install the new drivers that come with the card and you should be all good. I had issues with the drivers on the cd not matching the card so if all else fails just grab the newest driver online.Enjoy :D (R9 290 is a great card)

fyi, your hdmi port will either be on your mother board or your video card, neither is included in this case.

The video card has nothing to do with the ram on your PC. Make sure you set the PCI-e as the main video card in the Bios and disable any other video card you have on your PC.

Did you uninstall all previous Video Drivers? Also start out with a simple VGA cable. Make sure you are direct connect with VGA cable computer to monitor.

I am not positive...I used to keep up with tech but I don't any longer. I know I can select different options with the video card but I have not had much success when changing the settings. There is also a built in graphics accelerator besides the separate video card and it seems to default to that unless the higher power card is necessary. Again I am not sure of this but I think that is what is happening.

Are the fans spinning when its powered up? Make sure the video card is hooked up correctly and it has power. It may be dead on arrival

Test it with another monitor and you will know for sure if it is the card or the monitor. Check out a forum or technical support for more detailed help.

If you know for sure it's not your monitor, then it has to be a computer defect in your video chip. Send the computer back and get another one (if you are still within the time parameters).

This will work, but it is a little more involved than swapping them out. You must uninstall the drivers for the old video card, then turn the machine off, change out the cards, reboot, ignore the new hardware found messages and once you are booted up insert the disk for the new card and install. There have been a few updates so you will have to go through those as they show up.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. Try what Ronald said, and then if that doesn't work try contacting a Dell Support Representative!

I've had mine about a month and have had no such issue. I would try a different video cable and power cord, then call Asus support.

perhaps you have an incompatible graphics adapter, or your graphic drivers need to be updated. Also you're supposed to connect the card before you turn on the computer. Hope that's helpful. :D

If your machine has a dvi port you can split it with a dvi to two vga connector. If not you will have to get a different video card. You could also call tech support from where you got it they will help you.

Put an external monitor on the laptop. If it comes up. Monitor may be bad. If external does not come up,bad video card.
