Thank you SO much for replying!

LOL I was actually given this crappy computer for College. This is all I have to work with right now.

I'm not a huge PC gamer. More of a PS3/Wii guy so I just wanted to boost up this PC just a tad bit and give it a little more power.

This PC just gets me by and instead of letting this free hardware sit here I thought I would be able to pump it up. I've had better computers in the past.

I'll get back to you on the cables connections in a moment!

I'd also like to point out that I can run Sherlock with my onboard graphics. It runs absolutely fine when I start it up.

The only problem is that after about 20 minutes my computer starts slowing down to a screeching halt. Not only does the game become unplayable but even when I turn it off every other computer function lags.

Hey guys, I just recently bought a ZOTAC Nvidia Geforce 7200 GS for my PC.

I have a Compaq Presario SR5302FH. (I know it's not the best computer but it's decent)

I did my research (or at least to the best of my ability) before I ordered the Graphics card.

I watched several videos carefully to ensure that I would know how to install the card properly.

So I fit it into the PCI-x16 express slot. Disabled my onboard graphics and rebooted.

I plugged my VGA cord into the CTR slot (If fit although that sounds odd to me.)

Please help me guys. All I really want is to play my Sherlock Holmes games. (Jack the ripper, Nemesis, The Awakened.)

Computer Specs are:

Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company

Model: SR5302FH

Processor: Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU 430 @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHz

Memory (RAM): 1.00 gb

System type: 32-bit Operating System.
