So I recently upgraded my computer and bought the xfx Radeon r9 280x and when I put everything in my computer it uses Intel graphics... It came with an installation disk but when I try to install the files nothing happens. The fans on the 280x spin but it's not enabled or something. Have I missed a step? I have an i3-3220 and a 650 watt power supply. If you need any more information just ask.

Should've asked this first: are you sure your monitor is connected to your graphics card?
Everything is connected, I have been using my pc just on Intel graphics.
I will tell you once I get home, you mean the graphics card or what? (Manu and model)

2 monitors connected to igpu and to dedicated vga (white connectors)
horizontal one is connected to mb
vertical one is connected to vga card
your should move from mb to vga card
edit:
and dont forget to switch primary vga option in bios from igpu to pcie before you switch cable.
Ah ok. Thanks so much, I'll tell you how it goes once I get back.
