Alright first of all, I just got this computer at a garage sale, it was working perfectly, i had added another video card to it with more ram (it did only have onboard video).

It worked fine with that vid card. Until i had removed it to try it in another computer. I went to turn on the computer and all i got was a blank screen with a flashing "_" no post test or anything.

I tried putting the video card back into it, then it gave me some kind of error and told me to go to setup or resume. If i chose setup it would restart and do the same thing, if i resumed it would go blank with absolutly nothing on the screen.

Now its not even giveing me those choices for setup or resume but only giveing me the flashing "_" no matter what i do..

Help Please!

You might start by clearing the CMOS.
