    Video card: Here is the problem, I just bought (I'll just type what I see in the box) MSI AMD RADEON R6450 MDIGD3 1GB DDR3
    If I connect it to the motherboard, I can see the Bios boot screen, then I have to choose the OS to boot,
    I choose Kubuntu, then the normal Dark-blue screen to select Normal, Recovery mode, and then the screen gets totally blue (without any text) and it starts flickering, then a black screen, and thats all, I cant see anything.
    I just took out the video card from the motherboard, and Im using the onboard graphic card.
    So, is there a way to install the drivers and then turn off the PC, plug in my new video card and then just boot?
    And about those drivers, where do i get them from?
    The Video card works perfect on Windows Xp.
