How to Determined if your Video Card is Dead?

My PC experience a problem, many thin white line on the screen show up, and the monitor always died after the log-on screen of my computer, Then i restart it and press F8 before the Boot screen and i run it in "Enable VGA" its work but the resolution is so large, pls help! is it my video card problem?|||You resolution is set to low it just makes the images appear large. I'm feeling your video driver is the problem. Although if you have to continually go into the BIOS and enable VGA it could be a problem with the battery. If you know someone with internet access you can probably just rewrite the BIOS that way you only need to use a system disk floppy. That will take you into DOS and from there you can run the flash program. I would feel safer though getting the BIOS flash program and image file on a floppy sent through snail mail (postal mail)|||You dont say when this problem started. did you just install a new card or did you make changes to the resolution of the one you had already? It sounds like your card is working because you can run in VGA mode. What it sounds like is that your resolution is set on a setting your monitor cannot support. To set it back down you may have to uninstall the driver from safemode. F8 during boot, choose safemode, then uninstall driver. Reboot and reinstall driver in normal mode. Becareful not to choose a resolution higher than monitor will support. |||Remove video card from PC, insert into another (similar) PC that will handle that card, and see if the same issues occur on that PC.



Reset BIOS settings to default / fail-safe.|||Possibly, it could be because your video card is dying of old age.
