Black Screen when upgrading to GTX 750 Ti

[dougzx]

I recently bought a new graphics card, 500w PSU and SSHD and connected them all up about an hour ago and i tried to plug in hdmi and turn the computer on but it just stays at a black screen. I changed out my GGTS 240 graphics card from my Dell XPS 8100 computer. Can anyone tell me any solutions to help fix this black screen?

The computer and everything is going fine as i looked inside and the graphics card fans are going and everything else

its like the PC is running. I plugged in a cable to my motherboard graphics and the pc was running fine but when i plugged any cable to Graphics card it wasnt showing up. I also had it opened and the graphics card fans were going.

One of my friends was upgrading to a 750 ti and also he upgraded his psu as well and turned out that his motherboard did not support it . So make sure your motherboard works with it and make sure your cpu will work for the new motherboard you pick.

if reseat your GPU can't solve your problem try another PCIe slot too,and also check is your motherboard version support it or not

XPS 8000 series is notorious for problems with newer GPUs, your latest BIOS upgrade is A05 from 2010 or 2009, which is doesn't matter for such a new card - what I mean is to return this card if you can and get
EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
it was reported working here.

I can not explain, except just telling you that XPS 8000 line, up to today XPS 8700 has issues with NVIDIA cards, don't believe me (and you should not), look at this thread created for XPS 8700 compatibility with NVIDIA cards, I know it is not directly applicable to you, but if such thread officially exists at Dell forums there is something wrong with XPS, don't you think so)
