Whenever I try to use a new graphics card, it absolutely will not work, even if I download and install the drivers. The only graphics card my computer ever accepts is the one it came with. I know I'm not being specific but does anyone know what the problem could possibly be?

Your motherboard does have an AGP or PCI-Express slot right?

EDIT: and what computer model number do you have
