Installing a GeFORCE FX 5500 OC

My friend got a new card, and gave his old one to me so I could use it.

I took out my old GeForce MX, uninstalled the drivers for it. The computer then switched to my integrated graphics card, I then disabled that.

I start the installation now, it's done and all, the computer has restarted. All the system messages seem to point to that my 5500 card is working now. So I turn off the computer, switch my monitor outlet from the main motherboard, to the graphics card. Now when I boot up the computer, it makes that "beep" sound, but then my monitor doesn't turn on, it usually does right after that sound, so I don't know what the problem is now.

Well, it goes into the PCI slot, not AGP. The card I previously uninstalled went into my AGP slot. Also, the 5500 does not have any places to shove any cables in for power, so I think you just shove it in there.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Woo hoo! Thanks! That worked, problem solved





Ok, I have a new problem now. For some reason, whenever I play games, sometimes the sound would suddenly stop. I'm not even able to exit the game, I have to ALT+TAB it. Now after doing that, all other sounds have stopped on my computer.......... odd, seeing as how my videocard isn't really related to the sound.... or is it?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My soundcard is the integrated thingy on the motherboard, so I can't really switch it =/.
