I recently bought this to upgrade from my horrible onboard graphics.

ectronics&qid=1281132691&sr=8-6
This is my very first video card, I put installed into the PCI slot, downloaded drivers off AMD, and installed. Then I restarted the computer and set the Video to Auto so it would use the new card.
For some reason everything comes up till I get to the Sign In screen and there it's just blank.

Did I do something wrong?
I have a Media Center weird custom version of Dell Dimension E310 and I know that the card works with it but I think I'm doing something wrong.

It didn't come with a disc for drivers.
Also am I supposed to disable the Intergrated graphics first? Or not?

Disable the on-board graphics from the bios.

How?
If you mean by rebooting the computer and pressing f2 for Setup then clicking Video and choosing from Onboard to Auto(for add-on graphics card) I've tried that.
Goes blank at sign in screen.

Thanks guys, solved it by disabling the old graphics driver through Device Manager then went to setup after I rebooted and set it to Auto and now it works

Take the card out and re-seat it maybe? Sometimes you don't get it in just right and re-seating it will help.

Edit: NVM, you solved it while I was sitting here typing
