I have a motherboard with an integrated video on it and the video is no longer working. I tried to add a video card - but no luck. What can be done??

First, make sure that all settings for the on-board video are disabled. BIOS settings, jumpers.

Make sure the new card is seated properly.

Try the new card in different slots.

Make sure that the memory is properly seated, or swap out the memory modules.

It is possible that whatever caused the old video to fail may have killed the motherboard.

Have you verified that it is the video output and not a monitor failure? Tried ypur monitor on another machine? Another monitor on yours?

If the mobo is jumperless then you are SOL (you will need to use the CMOS setup program to disable the onboard video adapter, if you feel brave you can try it blind) _but_ if the board has jumpers then check your documentation for a jumper marked "Disable onboard video" or "Enable PCI Graphics" or a variation on this theme
