The Video card is built into the motherboard, nothing is loose. I am running a Celeron 433 with SIS graphics chipset. I have tried my moniter with flat mates comp and it works fine and tried my flat mates moniter on my machine and same thing... is my video card dead ? thanks for reading this...	Guest (0)

If you have some free PCI or and AGP slot in your computer try putting a known working Video card in there. If it works, then yea, probably the onboard video. If not, could be a number of other things....try a different video card first and see how you go.	Guest (0)
