Thumbs down TroubleShooting Graphics Card

My origina graphics card broke (ATI 9800Pro agp8x 256 MB TV-out dvi) so I bought a new one, which is: ATI radeon 1050x agp8x 256 MB DDR. I am trying to run the computer, but it will not start because my computer is a Presario SR1403WM. I have 512 RAM inside the computer. When I opened my new graphics card (1050x), it looked much different than the one I used to have. It had no fan and no where to plug the power supply plug inside the computer.

First of all, i want to know how am I going to log into the computer and remove my existing graphics card setting to my new one. My computer will not start w/o a graphics card. I do know that there is a built-in graphics card. I do no know how to put back to the original graphics card. I put my new graphics card- only connecting the white plug. When I turn it on- I have these long beeps. Can you tell me step by step on what to do?

I look all over the internet to know how much watts my SR1403WM has in the power supply, but U cannot find it. I don't want to take it apart because I might ruin my computer- just like what happened to my old graphics card.

My old graphics card kept messing up. When I turn it on- it goes fine, but once in a while- when I turn it off and back on, it will make short beeping sounds. Everytime this happens- I would try to see if the plugs are loose. Just last weekend- it didn't help to see if the plugs were loose. It wouldn't turn on anymore and continue beeping. I got really angry and one of the little batteries on my old graphics card broke-

which leads to why i bought a new one and some more RAM. The problem is I can't even turn on the computer to intall my new graphics card. Can you tell me step by step what to do and afterwards to install the graphics card. The graphic card I currently bought is DIFFERENT.
