HELP....new video card problems

hi,

can some please, please help me.

i just installed a new video card (sapphire atlantis 128se) into my kids
pc. i uninstalled the nvdia drivers then shutdown the system,removed the
old card, put in the new card in. i turn the machine on and there is no
display, nothing, just a black screen. i even put the old card back in
and i still have a black screen.

the system is a compaq presario 5004us.

this really sticks, can some offer any advise.

im checking compaq web site also.
