You have to plug the cable going to your monitor into your video card. Also, if it has a slot for you to connect a cable from your power supply, make sure you do connect the cable. What card is it?

If you are upgrading from integrated graphics, you may have to disable the integrated graphics in device manager and/or the bios before you can use the new card.
