    My pc keeps burning the video cards-all the fans are running. PC runs fine with video card out-I put the old one back in that is burnt and the pc does't run at all. I also put a new card in it and iot ran for about an hour then burnt it up.Help Please

    Greetings, Boodas.

    We need more information: what is your Dell Service Tag #, and what type of video card are you trying to use?

    "runs fine with video card out" OK does that mean the computer boots up using motherboard's built-in video so you see windows on your monitor?

    If video cards are failing I would say you have an issue with the video card slot on that motherboard.
