Graphics card help
So im having problem with my graphics card.
I have a dell dimension E520
I recently purchased a 512mb EVGA geforce 210 2.0

Heard that 2.0 was backward compatible.
But it did not work.
I get no signal thrue the VGA cable.
Any ideas?
Here are my specs.

You have to go into bios to fix this.
I can't guide you through it because I haven't done it in a loooonnnggg time, but there is a setting somewhere you have to set to 'PCI-Express' or 'PCI-Express VGA'.
It could also be that it doesn't support the PCI type.
"• Two PCI card slots
• One PCI Express x16 card slot
• One PCI Express x1 card slot"
