I recently got a new video card, but am having problems installing. I have checked the requirements several times, and I meet them all (it's not very demanding). The only one I come close to is the PSU; I have exactly the minimum wattage.
I disabled my current integrated card (Intel HD), installed the new hardware, then booted up. It didn't recognize any new hardware, and when I ran the installation CD, it could not recognize compatible hardware. I reinstalled the hardware, but I am still getting the same issue. The card installation itself was pretty simple. I just had to replace the original bracket with two low profile ones, and pop it into place. There was no auxiliary power connector required.
I'm guessing the problem is one of the following, but before I spend forever trying, does anyone have suggestions?
-I have to completely uninstall the current drivers, not just disable them (although most places I checked said this would be sufficient)
-I am not meeting the minimum power requirements
-Either the new card or the PCI-E slot is defective
I'm not in a huge hurry; I just want to get it complete (or know that it can't be) within two weeks.
