You have to set the boot video card to the PCI-E one, and not the integrated. Go into the BIOS and set it to the new card. It should work if you didnt do that.
 
When your computer starts up have your monitor hooked up to your integrated, and before windows starts up (you will get some kind of logo for a company) and hit F2 or Del to open the BIOS screen. You will find an option to change the boot up card in there somewhere.
