Thread moved to Computer Troubleshooting.
If your computer has on-board graphics, like an HDMI port that is no on the graphics card. Plug into that. That should at least allow you to get video output to a monitor. Go ahead and install the graphics that came with your card, or download the latest ones online. Install them, and when that gets done. Plug the HDMI cable into the port on the video card. If none of that works post back here. Video card and driver issues can be pretty stupid to troubleshoot at times.

I went into the bios and theirs no option for it i went into device manager and uninstalled it that way and it still dosnt see it. I got the graphics card to wrok kinda of now when i plug the hdmi cable into the graphics card the monitor brings up a display but when i go to check what graphics card in installed it says its the standard graphics card. I think its cause my pc is not 64 bit. I need to buy a 64 bit motherboard but i dont know any and i done know how to tell if a motherboard is 65 but before buying it

No such thing in this day. Every board you buy runs an x64 processor. There is also no such thing as a 32bit only processor anymore. You aren't required to have a 64bit os for a video card. If you tried to install 64bit drivers it would tell you that you couldn't. So that's not the problem.

A dvd came with the graphics card but it doesn't load the dvd and then when i click on it a second time it says its running buts its not. I went on the amd website and tried to download the drivers and it only go so far before it says package failure
I also heard a way you can tell if your pc is 64 but is the ram. If it cN use more than 4gb ram then its 64 bit compatible. Which i dont understand cause my pc has 8gb ram but only uses 2. Something

Ram has nothing to do with cpu architecture. All of the architecture now is 64-bit compatible. The only limiting thing would be your operating system. Navigate to your Control Panel, select System and you should come across something like this.
It could be possible that you're downloading drivers for x64 but you're running an x86 OS. According to 1UP that isn't the case. But to err on the side of caution I'd double check.

I am gonna backseat here for a moment in saying there is not need to triple post, editing your reply with new information is better.
You are using a 64bit processor to begin with, so the board would have to support it.
Are you actually opening the disk in explorer and running the setup exe?
Yes and no. You can have more than 4GB's of memory using a 32bit OS. All that it means is that it can only address 3.5GBs of that memory and the rest just does nothing.
Just because you have 8GBs of memory doesnt means windows is going to use it all up. That's something you don't want. If windows sees that you have 8GB then you are running a 64bit OS.
If you still don't think you are then you can run a program like speccy:
