I recently moved my computer and in the process my graphics card stopped working.I have since bought a new graphics card. The problem is that my motherboard is set to run the display through my graphics card, and so it wont show up on the monitor.

How do I install my new graphics cards drivers without being able to see my screen?
 
Solution
Reset the bios to defaults using the motherboard switch, that will set the video options to onboard again. The video card should still work, just not with the correct drivers. If you used the same brand of video card you may not need to install drivers again.
Did you drop the pc? Get bounced around during the move?

If you have a heavy video card and cpu cooler you should remove those before moving your pc. They are heavy and depending on stresses involved in moving they can damage your mother board. Do you have a way to test the video card in another computer?
You may have damaged the motherboard.
