Well here is mostlikley the problem
A) Your on board graphics card is the one being used when your OS boots up, after the welcome screen, so try plugging in the monitor to the onboard after the welcome screen too see if thats it
Or
B) Your computer doesnt have the drivers installed for that graphics card
Or
C) Your computer cannot run on that graphics card

you need to disable the onboard video card in BIOS. restart the PC, then enter BIOS by hitting the needed key (usually F1 or F2 or delete), or, it will display press x key to enter BIOS when first booting up.
go to onboard devices, select the onboard video or display (whichever it calls itself), change that to disabled. save and exit using the F10 key. then switch the monitor cable to the new card you have installed, and boot windows normally. the display will start in a default low setting mode. install your graphic card drivers, and your set.

is the new card an AGP or PCI? may need to set the bios appropriately. if agp, make sure bios is set to use the agp slot, and that agp settings are correct for that card (2x or 4x, voltage correct, etc.)
if PCI, may need to set bios to allow a boot to pci graphics.
