Hi insidious27,
I request you to try using the old video card and check if it works. If it works then you can try inserting the new video card properly and if it still doesn’t work then the video card has failed.
If the old video card also doesn’t work then the video card slot has failed. I request you to send the system service tag through private message I can check and let you know what needs to be done.
I have added you as a friend. Please accept my friend request by clicking on my name highlighted in blue and then click on “Friends” tab at the top and then click on “Request to Review” and finally click on “Accept” button.
I am sending you a private message as well. Click on “Inbox” to respond to the message and provide system’s Service Tag and contact details so I may access your system records and check for further course of action. You could also click on Start Conversation to send a private message.

If you only have the 525w Power Supply, only the P14 and P15 video-card power supply plugs have power to them.

Hello insidious27,

i think my power supply is not big enough, but i am not sure. How would i find how how much my power supply is? if it is 525 i think that might be the problem because the graphic card that i got requires 550 watts.
here is the link to the graphics card:

Think it might be the power supply because when i boot the computer up with no power plunged into the graphic card the computer says please plug the power supply unit into the graphic card. then when i put the power in the graphic card my computer beeps and all i see is a black screen!
