Help with install
Well the gist of it is as follows
I bought a new graphics card last week and it's been a major headache.
---(EVGA) Nvidia gtx 1050 Ti---
I managed to get the hardware installed but the problem is that whenever I try to boot up my screen stays black for a few seconds then a "Entering powersaving mode" message pops up on screen before it flickers and goes off entirely.
Can anybody help me with this?
Oh, and everything runs fine if I take out the new graphics card.
Edit: I'm still using windows 7 home premium if that matters
EDIT: Why does my disk tray keep going out and in on it's own!? I can't even use it to read an update disk now. It was like this even before I took apart my computer. It's so noisy.

@burning: Thanks burning.
*Make sure the monitor cable connects to the video card and not the motherboard.
*Uninstall old NVIDIA GeForce drivers before shutting down and slotting the new video card.
*Some (but not all) GTX 1050 Ti variants require a 6-pin power cable from the power supply to the video card. However, a POST error will appear if the power supply cable is not plugged into the video card.
*Most motherboards should automatically switch video output responsibilities to a slotted PCI-E video card. Check to see if this is the case in the BIOS.
