Okay I have a nvidia geforce 8500gt 512mb video card that just stopped working.?

I turn on my computer and the screen stays black. Then I get a box that say no signal and then it stays black. I don't have a driver. I have pulled it out and put it back in and nothing. Anyone got any Idea's?|||Try leaving it out. If your motherboard has an integrated video card, it should kick in. If not, then you either don't have integrated graphics available or the problem isn't the card.

Use the integrated graphics (not for gaming) until you can get a new card. I'd suggest tigerdirect.com for a new card.|||I concur with the above poster you probably have a fried video card when you pulled it out did you notice and damage to the capacitors on the video card it would look something like this.

If you see any discoloration rust etc. on the video card caps then replace the card.
