Problem with Installing a sound card?

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

Unplug the sound card and see if windows boots up.If it does, try one of the other pci slots.If same problem occurs it is possible it is the sound card at fault - incompatibility of hardware conflict.Either swap card for another or get a pctech to check for you.
Reply:Take the computer back to the vendor, something is terribly wrong with Windows.
