prbly problem w/ video card

 any ways to fix?

i just turned it on one day and it didnt start up
this has happened b4 but after turning the computer off for about 10 minutes it would go back on again.  now i get the thing at startup where it says gateway (i have a gateway) and then the monitor power light starts flashing and every time it does the screen kinda has a very slight flash itself.  i have hooked up the monitor to another comp and it works fine.
anyone know wuts up?

    Yes it sure sounds like a problem with the graphics card.
    Is the graphics card integrated in the motherboard or on a separate card?
    If its a standalone graphics card check that it is seated properly in its slot.
