Solve : need a video card?

Answer»

Hi guys I have a compaq presario sr1603wm computer with xp home edition and a pci express slot that I bought 5 years ago the slot is black. The mb video port went out there is no signal at all and I tried another monitor that I knew that worked. I'm just wondering what video card would work I know that the video cards out there are a pci XPRESS 2.0 x 16 but i'm wondering if that would work Thanks Quote from: brett1974 on March 12, 2011, 03:07:20 PM

If your slot is PCI-e (PCI Express), most low to mid-priced cards will work.  Don't get one that needs more power than your PSU can provide.Thanks I will go and check out newegg for them. I don't need a high end one it's for my mom's computer and all she does is word processing and play hearts and internetMOTHERBOARD Specifications, A8AE-LE (AmberineM)

Yesterday I tried the motherboard vga port and it worked so I didn't have to go and buy a video card after all I have no idea why it started to work  i MUST have not plugged it in all the way but I thought I did. Anyways thanks for the help computer commando
