    Okay so I figure on my prob is my video card...e-Geforce FX 5200. I was using it for 2 monitors. Took out the card and use the Dell 4600 VGA recepticle. Got a working computer again, but...how do I find out if it's my card or video slot that failed?? Don't want to buy another card for this old machine and find out it's worthless...

    One of the capacitors is bulging a little, could that be it? Any chance it's repairable?

    Thanks!! You kids rock.
