Ok so ive been trying to run Kerbal Space Program on my old HP m8000, everything is stock and its got the OEM nVidia GeForce 6150SE and nforce 430. Here is a link to all the specs:

Well recently I was running the game and a couple other windows when suddenly the computer screen went black and my monitor was giving me the "no signal" message. I tried plugging in an old monitor and also my HDTV and it was giving me the same message. I tried to reboot and still no luck. The pc sounds like it is starting up fine but there is just no display. not sure what is going on here also im not too familiar with computer terms but I have the knowhow to fix this stuff myself. I want to upgrade the card without getting a new tower but I don't know if that is possible considering I found a post saying it was near impossible. Can anyone help me out?
