It could be many things:

-Your powersupply might not be strong enough to run a upgraded GPU.
-You could have the Suspend key enabled.(Looks like a quarter moon)
- If your computer can change inputs try switching through them and see if it's on a new input.
-Loose cords.
-If your using DVI cords trying using HDMI or VGA.

Thats all I can really think of that would be causing that Hope you get your problem sorted out soon!

Most power supplies are strong enough. He could run it off of a 400W unit if needed.

Are you sure you have the GPU power cables plugged in. That is a common mistake.
