where is the video card in a computer?
what does it look like, ect.?
if i have an old computer can i use that video card to replace the one im having problems with?? to determine if its the problem...|||Relax on yanking it out. Go to start -run. type in services.msc and look for the card and make sure it says start beside it.
Don't do that quite yet. Here's what you need to do first. Go to My computer and right click on my computer,click properties, then go to hardware tab then device management, open the video card up and see if it's working properly. Make sure there isn't a yellow ? beside it.|||usually a video card is the top chip from all the chips sticking out of the back of the computer. it will usually be seeded (meaning it conects differently) than all other "IDE" components (chips below the video card) it may have plastic or metal prongs in the shape of a square or a circle on top or below the card(for cooling perpuses)also ..read the chips name.. it may say video card.. connection in the back will connect to the monitor. if the video card will fit properly in the new computer than sure go ahead and try it! although you will need software drivers.. so google video card drivers for the type of video card you have..best of luck to you!!
