e-GeForce 7800 GS make screen turn black?

I have a Dell desktop and I am trying to upgrade the video card. I have tried the BIOS and it says that it should work. After logging into Windows, the screen just turns black. Any suggestions?

The 7800GS is a 52 watter. You could be running it at the edge of your power supply's capability. I suggest you upgrade your power supply.

It's probably a defective card. It happens sometimes with video cards and yes it sucks. Return it for a new one if you can OR it might just be that your power supply is not strong enough.
