Alright so I have a Dell Dimension 8300 that currently has in it a Nvidia Geforce 6200 video card. Recently, I discovered a PNY Verto GeForce 6800 that was in a box of old hardware I had. So I began searching the web, and found that it was supposedly compatible with the Dimension 8300. I then tried installing this card into said computer, it fit in just fine but whenever I turn the computer on with this new video card inside of it I am greeted with this god-awful beeping noise. Does anyone know what is wrong? Can it be fixed or am I stuck with the 6200 card? Please respond, ShadowSplicer.
 
Did you connect the power supply to the external power connector on the graphics card?
 
Look at the inside end of the graphics card to confirm there is a power connector. It might be a common 4 pin molex type connector. So find a free molex connector from the power supply and connect it. Of course, make sure the PC is turned off.
