Repairing a video card
If it is under warranty you can RMA it to the manufacturer. If it is out of

P5P800 SE, def MoBo or CPU?

CPU or Motherboard problem? Or both?

Yes, you can have one SATA and one IDE hard drive in a computer. They would

your CPU, so your system will run slower than if you had a video card. Same
