[AT] OT - Computer Problem

[Phil Auten]

Mike,
Make sure the video card is fully seated into it's connector on the 
motherboard.
If that is good, try another video card (if you have one). Also, if 
the video card is
a PCI card, try it in another slot. Of course, if the card is AGP, 
you're outa luck there.
