I recently brought a GT 630 card so I can play WoW etc with some solid fps but I can't get it to work, after installing it in my system and boot up the computer it loads up with the norm Press f2 or del etc etc then instead of loading up windows it just goes blank, I've got no idea how to solve this and would greatly appreciate any help. The motherboard I use is called the ECS A960-MV.
Got a new graphics card

Hi!
You might have to step into the bios and disable the onboard Radeon, video chip. Some bioses, automatically overrides the onboard chip when a real video card are installed some don't.
Make sure to uninstall the Radeon video card driver and all of it components. Download this:

And run this in safe mode, after the driver uninstallation, in order to clean out the Windows registry for any leftovers from the ATI display driver. This, before you go back into normal Windows mode and install the Nvidia driver. Do this procedure every time you update the Nvidia card driver too. Stacking video card or sound card drivers on top of eachother will come back to haunt you sooner or later.

Turns out the GPU I brought wasn't compatible and the site I was using isn't reliable :/ Anyway I got an R7 260X And it works a charm, thanks again for the help.
