[SOLVED]Graphics Card HELP

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

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?

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 :D
 
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 :)
