Installing AGP video card, blank monitor/cpu fan not spinning

by rogerkelsey . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

I have an Acer with an integrated graphics card. I installed the card than turned on the computer being an idiot forgetting to disable my integrated graphics first. So i took the card out, plugged the monitor back into the integrated graphics. I plug in and turn on my PC and the power fan spins, but the CPU/Processor Fan that is on my heat sink does not spin, except for probably 3 seconds every 1-5 minutes. Randomly the fan turns on and goes into over drive spinning like crazy, and than stopping.

Also, the monitor does not turn on or show anything, I get the flashing green light on the power button.

Like I said, the power fan works, i get a random spurt of power in CPU fan, and I can also hear the hard drive spinning/reading.

What can I do to fix this now? I cannot go on to the computer and check any BIOS and turn off the integrated graphics because I have no display?
