You new graphics card is putting out a to high of a resolution that your monitor cant handle it. You need to boot your computer into safe mode and lower your video settings. Do you know how to boot into safe mode ?

I have the same system and card. The problem is the system is trying to run two monitors at once. Use Windows safe mode (F8 during boot) to uninstall any Pny drivers you may have put on. Reboot. Install the pny drivers again. Before rebooting, use the device manager to look at the display drivers. There should be two, an Intel one, and the pny Nvidia one. Disable the intel driver and reboot. Worked for me. Youmay also want to upgrade the power supply. The 3000 has a 225W and the 8400 card wants at least 300W.

Hi there you need to go in to your bios and adjust the settings so that it uses the new graphics card by default instead of the onboard graphics.
