    Hey, I just bought an ASUS C90. I installed the graphics card and booted the computer and it won't recognize the card. Only the onboard video. I've since tried to reinstall it and still no luck. Any suggestions?

    Check the BIOS maybe you have to enable the video card slot or maybe theres a setting for it.
