Dammit!

Help me!

I did something incredebly stupid, okay, I got my computer back from compusa, after it took those dolts about a month to fix it..
anyway.. I got an onboard 32megs AGP graphic card, but I had a 64 megs PCI lying around, so I plugged it in, and without checking if it works or not, so I disabled the on board video card, and enabled the PCI one, and lo and behold, it dosent work, now I can't see crap on my other computer... HELP ME The monitor just dosent work...

hit Delete or F2 when your computer is booting and snoop around in your BIOS for the onboard video setting. Also uninstall the other video card, it might default to the onboard.

oh.. well just take out the old video card and plug your monitor back into the onboard.. that SHOULD be enough to at least view stuff.

Another thing you could try is looking in your motherboard manual for the jumper that will reset to default settings. I don't know how comfortable you would be with going into your case with a screwdriver to connect a jumper though, lol.
