I got the radeon 5750 but my pc doesnt recognize it,when i hook the power up to the card internally and connect the vga out to the monitor the keyboard ,speakers stop work and their seems to be zero signal going to the monitor.Is it a motherboard age issue?? im not very good with computers but if anyone has any ideas please throw em at me.

Im replecing a nvidia 7300/7200.

Hmmm, not familiar with nvidia 7200/7300. Is that an onboard card? If so, be sure to disable the onboard video in the BIOS.

Probably also post your MB make and model, and your PSU wattage, it might help understand the situation better.

Flight sim is just like buying an old car,you spend more time under it than in it.

Oh, don't give up hope yet. I am sure with the right work done, it will float like a cadillac or steam like a beamer

 

I don't think you have to uninstall the onboard video. Once the new card is installed and powered adequately (this is where the PSU comes in), your card will take over. If you messed something so badly, try reseting from BIOS level, since you are reinstalling W7 so many times, a BIOS reset or a BIOS update if you can get that, should work. Then go about it slowly, but do check your PSU wattage. Most new cards don't do justice unless you atleast have a 550W+. I remember when I first hooked my card to the 350W, it didn't think I had a video card and I was looking at it right there in front of me
