i dont know a lot about computers so anyone please help, my friend gave me a tower that is posed to be in working condition, it turns on and everything but when i plug the monitor into the video card nothing appears on the screen, and yes everything is on and tight and secure. i tried the tower on another monitor and same thing nothing shhows up, i was told that its a video card problem, so i'm guessing i'll need a new video card?
i'm not sure if thats the problem but the next problem is what kind of video card do i need? these AGP, PCI and PCI express i was told.
is there a way to tell what kind of card it is? or will the motherboard say something that will tell me what kind i need?
if it helps on the back of the video card says ATI Rage 128, thanks in advance to anyone who can help
edit: any suggestions on a nice cheap but good card? not looking att more than 40$, thanks
