    my computer is put together from like a couple other computers but it runs internet and everything fine.
    i just put a new graphics card in it but dont have the disk to install it.
    when i have the card in the computer prior to turning on the computer the computer will turn on but nothing gets sent to the monitor unless the graphics card is out of the computer when i turn it on and put it in afterwards. the card gets power to it and everything but dont seem to be working.

    if anyone can help me that would be super! i miss playing wow THANKS

    Hi

    you answered your own question, you need the drivers for the card.

    You don't need a disk. Even if you had one, it would likely be out of date anyway. Go to the graphic card manufacturer's website, download the appropriate driver and install it.
