Hello and welcome to Techspot.

There is a myriad of things that could`ve gone wrong here.

It could be that while you were installing the new card you`ve disturbed something else inside the case. Check that everything is connected and seated properly.

Also when installing a new video card it is better to completely uninstall the old card first I.E all the old drivers and software.

Because as you say yourself you`re not very good with computers, I recommend that you take it to a reputable pc repair shop and have them look at it for you.
