Sure thing

Oh Broni, are you sure that my graphics is integrated?
I think its an actual graphics card as that pci-e slot is taken.

[Broni]

I was looking at original computer configuration. Someone might have installed video card.
To make sure....

You can tell, if you have on-board video, or separate video card by looking at the back of your computer.
If the monitor is connected somewhere in Area 1, you have on-board video.
If the monitor is connected somewhere in Area 2, you have real video card.

[GGVenom]

It's in area one but then..

what's the green board thing with a fan doing in the pci-e slot?

Here's a picure of it..

Your picture is not sharp enough for me to see.

Look at the port in area 1, where your monitor is connected to.
Then see, if you have another port like that in area 2.

[GGVenom]

There isn't a slot like that in area 2
And what part of it do you need to see mroe sharply, to tell what it is?

[Broni]

Put more light on it, to start with.
Then, make sure, the focus is little bit better.

Is this any better?

[Broni]

Yeah, cool.
This IS your video card NVIDIA Geforce 8500 GT C403H.
What they did for whatever reason....you can see cables, which go from your video card, most likely to video port in area 1.

Check it those cables are well connected.
While computer off, try to remove that video card and put it back.
See, what will happen.

[GGVenom]

Hmmm thank you!

So, has my situation changed?
And I just take the screws off and take it out?
Do you require some force to take it out?
I've had many incidents where you weren't supposed to force it out and the object broke 

Hmm.. i just noticed i asked alot of questions there..

[Broni]

No worries
If there is screw ( I can't see from here ), surely remove it and them wobble the card a little. It should go out.
Make sure to touch some bare metal part of your computer first to discharge any static electricity from your body.

[GGVenom]

Alright thanks!!
I'll see what happens

[GGVenom]

well.. i tried taking it out, but just to make sure.. the vga and that other slot is part of the graphics card??
Also, do I have to re-insert the card??? I feel nervous about taking the card out..
It's also connected to something with this wire... the end of the wire has a flat point with 2 very small pieces of metal coming out and the metal pieces are stuck between the graphics card pretty tight...Should i force it out?

[Broni]

the vga and that other slot is part of the graphics card??

I don't think so. Video card is just one piece.
Leave wires alone.
Yes, you need to remove it and put it back.
What happens, sometimes connectors (card's bottom part, which goes into the slot) got oxidized and the connection is not that good anymore.
By moving it out and in, you can make the connection better.

If that doesn't help, IMHO, you really need new card.

[GGVenom]

Alright, but if I don't touch the wire...how will i replace the old card for a new one?
