How can I remove a video card and get my monitor to work? I bought a computer (tower only) on ebay. The guy said that it was set up for onboard video but he had a video card that he put in the computer because he didn't have any other way to ship it (btw I have no idea what any of that means). I set up the computer and I can't get any image on my monitor. I have my old computer (dell) which I could pull a video card out of. What do I need to do. Oh, and the guy shipped the computer in a box with absolutely no packing materials; it was just sitting in a box. So it could also be completely busted I have no idea. OK, I tried to get to the video card but the housing for the printer input is on top and I can't figure out how to remove that. Also, there is only 1 input for the monitor cord.

What kind of new video/graphics card would you suggest I get? Now that school is over with, I have time to upgrade my PC with a new video card so I can play more games. But I have never done this before and I need some help! Here's what my PC already has: Windows XP Home Edition 2.7 Ghz Celeron processor 512 MB RAM 25 GB of HD space left (out of 60 GB) 64 MB Intel Extreme 3D Graphics card (integrated, it sucks) My PC has 2 or 3 PCI slots availble, so I need a PCI card. I was planning on getting just a 256 MB PCI video card. I really only want it to get the games that I already have to run smoother and so I can actually get the newer games to run. Also I have about $80 in gift cards for Best Buy (from my birthday a couple months ago) and not much cash in my wallet, so I would like to get one around $80-$120. I would also like something thats easy to install, but if it's not I can always get my computer game geek Uncle to help me out :-) Thanks! I don't think my motherboard has AGP or PCI express, but I have never checked to find out. Also, NEVER let your parents choose a computer for you, or else you will get a crappy PC like mine. (got it about 3 years ago for my birthday) TO Hornet One: I wasn't going to get the fastest video card anyway because I knew that it probably wouldn't work that's why I was going to get a cheaper one. I just want my games like Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield 1942 to run at 30+ fps about 85% of the time so it can make it a bit easier to play. It's kind of embarassing to lose in a deathmatch not because of how I play, but because my PC ran at 15 fps whenever I saw someone. It just adds to my anger and frustration.

How do I uninstall a video card from my PC and revert to factory settings? I installed an Ati X1300 card into my PC, but I am going to take it out and put it in another pc.
