Chances are that the motherboard would have to be replaced, given the symptoms
you described. If you added another video card with the same result, either the
motherboard has failed or there is small chance that the motherboard BIOS is not
switching to the card you added. To check out the latter possibility, unplug
the computer, carefully remove the C2032 battery for about 5 minutes and put it
back in again, then with the other video card installed plug the computer cord
into the wall current and try again. If you still get the same result, the
motherboard has likely failed.

If you are somewhere in the vicinity of ZIP 01451, west-northwest of Boston by
I-495, bring it over and I can diagnose and repair... Ben Myers
