MBO problems...

Hello,

So i got a new videocard for my computer, I got an XFX radeon hd 5770 video card, I installed it on my Mbo turn on the computer and it was not recorgnize, so i put the cd that the video card got and it did nothing I read the installlation guide and it said " it is advised to disable any onboard graphic adapters, either by jumper on the mainboard or by changing the grhapic adapter priority in the mainboard BIOS" so i went to my Bios and click on something called internal gaphic mode and disable it... cuz And now i understand i did a mistake when it restarted nothign appear the computer doesnt do anythin I try an dput the mbo cd on the computer and the bios doesnt appear as well. My MOBO is a asus m4a89gtd pro usb any hel wil be apreciated

Does this new video card require a dedicated power lead coming from the PSU or is it designed to get all its power from the PCI-e slot?

It has a 4 pin conector to the pcu it is a xfx radeon hd 5770

Take out the cmos battery for several hours to do a "deep reset" of the bios, then put it back in. Then retry with onboard video enabled. If it boots into Windows, go into bios and disable onboard next reboot. A video card should operate in basic low level VGA mode without having to install the proprietary 3D accelerators that come with the video card driver install disc.

Doesn't the 5770 require a 6 pin connector directly to it?

ok Bios problem fixes thanks but im still so confuse with the new gpu installation that to be honest i dont even want to touch it lol
