Black screen after gpu upgrade!

I have bought a 660ti from a dutch ebay site to upgrade my pc. It was a standerd hp pc with an i3 etc., but now I've put in some ram and a xfx ts550 psu. I used to have a small "hd family graphics" that used the amd drivers. I uninstalled those but when a I put in my new gpu and boot it doesn't give a signal to my screen.... I hooked it up to a vga monitor using a dvi adapter. I'm pretty sure it's something with the drivers because besides not having any visuals the pc seems to sound the same...

Can anyone please help me solve this weird issue?

Sorry if I'm kind of a noob ^-^

Thanks in advance,

That13thGuy

Edit: I saw the gpu inside his computer working just fine and boyh fans are spinning

If the Motherboard has onboard graphics try plugging the monster into that, it may have defaulted to it

And how do I fix it when it did? The dvi ports are blocked so anything else would be nice

So you had a AMD gpu before, uninstalled it, installed your new 660 ti and no video...checked all connections are properly in?
