    Hello. Somehow when my screen flickers while trying to install the graphics card, on the last flicker the screen goes black after the brightness changes. Before the install I couldn't change the brightness without the graphics card installed. I went to the Device manager to uninstall the Video Game Controller (VGA Compatible) display then after I do that the graphics card installs and then repeats a black screen. So then when I reboot I can't make it to the login screen because there's a black screen with the actual graphics card installed. Please help. Give the most advice. Thanks!

    What's the make and model of the video card?
    Did you check compatibility with Windows 8.1 and your system?

    How do we check compatibility on Windows 8.1?
