    hello, recently i had a new motherboard installed, i new it wasn't the best but cash was short so i had no choice, its a ASrock P4VM890 my old MB broke and my grahpics card would not work on this new one, so 6mths later i bought a new graphics card ATI radion x1950 pro 256mb version, but when i install it into the MB and turn the comp on nothng happens? it powers up but nothing comes on the screen, it has onboard graphics do i need to turn it off or should it just automaticly do that? does this MB support this card? is there a reason its not working? any helpwould be good, thanks

    yes it is connected to the psu, but i was worried because i can not get into the bios, i've tried every F key and it keeps coming up with the safe mode options, thats it, and if i uninstall the on board graphics card drives i might not be able to get back on windows.
