I'd start by opening the box to make sure the Video card is properly seated. Then I'd boot into safe mode, go to device manager, look under video adapters, highlight and remove everything I saw there.  If you can't get out of 16 colors your card is not installing (you may have a compatibility problem). Then I'd restart and boot into Windows. You should get a new hardware found screen for your video card.  Hopefully you've already downloaded the latest driver for this card.  Follow the instructions and load the latest driver using the new hardware wizard that appeared.  If it still won't install, the problem may be a compatibility issue with your mobo or system.  Without specific error messages, it would be hard to tell.  You might want to take it to a techie for installation.
