what the title says.. I bought a HD Radeon 6670 2GB graphics card to go in my HP 500-023w PC.. when I placed it in it.. the fans all come on and I can tell its loading up... but the screen is just lifeless.. doesn;t say no signal or anything.. its just lifeless... I have read a few other post on this matter about the 500-023w but no answers were posted.... please help me if possible

found the answer.... you have to go into Bois ... and even though it says the PCI slot is active it is not... disable it... then enable.. now here is the fun part with the Hp 500-023w... start it up witht he monitor hooked up to the G. card.. and fire it up.... one it start up you still will not have a picture on your monitor... you have to blindly left click.. and enter you password... once it finishes normal start up the system will notice the card and you will get a picture... well that was 6 hours of fun.. I hope this helps all of you with a HP 500-023w
