There are 2 boards- one with a powerful graphs card, one with less; all other features are identical.

Hey,
Basically i got myself a computer a few weeks back, which i've gradually been upgrading, with a new disk drive, and today i recieved a new (basic model) creative sound card. I currently believe the computer i am using to have no sound applications installed, at least when i attempt to play a c.d. it fails, and when i do dxdiag it says that there is no sound device available.
So today i tried to install this sound card, i plugged the sound card into what i believe to be called a 'pci' slot and connected the cd wire into the appropriate socket.
However when i then turned the computer on i was unable to get any signal, basically i could not get a picture to come up on my screen. (which is currently being done through my graphics card via a dvi to hdmi wire)
I am quite baffled as to why this is, and any help would be greatly apprieciated!
Thanks
Kris
