hi,
disable the on-board graphics by going in the BIOS and then try again.
make sure that the motherboard supports the graphics card.

also make sure the power supply you have is sufficient. how many watts is the power supply? what card do you have? is there a spot on the card for a power plug-in?

sorry, didnt realise u posted all that already. ill reply in a min, also, dont worry about the fan. its controlled by a thermometer. ur CPU isnt exactly crunching numbers yet, so it might not be hot enough for the fan. hold on a second.

Hm. Looks like your computer is stock with a 300w power supply and your graphics card doesnt even have so much as a fan. I seriously doub the problem is insufficient power. i think iveal was right about the bios setting, although in my experience I never had to disable onboard. look for anything reguarding pci-e slots
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

did your computer come with the ATI graphics card in it already? if it did, put it back in and then uninstall the video drivers, then put ur new graphics card in then install the nvidia driver. there is also the off chance that your card is DOA
