I just started upgrading my old PC and Im having trouble upgrading the video card. I can instal it and the computer turns on and shows the first screen where you can press ESC for startup options or F8 to do Safe mode. Well with the new card in and hooked up, and the integrated stuff unhooked, it goes past that screen and is just a black screen. Nothing else.

Then if I hook the integrated graphics cable back up with the card in it will do the same thing, only it gives me 6 long beeps.

I also started in safe mode and disabled integrated graphics, and then tried to use the card, and the same thing happened.

I also recently installed 8GB more RAM, for a total of 16GB, but it worked fine with that. So I dont think that has anything to do with it.

The computer is an HP I bought a couple of years ago. Here are the specs.


The processor is a 3.2GHz quad core.

This is the card I picked up.
ZOTAC ZT-71115-20L GeForce GT 730 4GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 (x8 lanes) Video Card - Newegg.com

So anyone have any idea on what I should do?
