I was using my computer and all of a sudden the monitor went black. I restarted the computer. I can't see anything on my monitor as the computer turns on. The monitor is on. And the display says "NO SIGNAL." I'm sure all the wires are connected. And the computer is turning on (I can hear it making sounds it normally does when I turn it on). So I'm pretty sure the computer is operating.

Is my video card fried? Can it be fixed by simply buying a new video card?

Before buying anything, may want to open up the case and just recheck all connections. Also make sure the video card is properly seated.

You could borrow a friend's card to test if you don't have a spare.

If the monitor is displaying 'no signal,' It's unlikely that's it's a monitor problem. If it was a monitor or a vga cord problem, you should receive a black screen.

I am upgrading my pc and looking at graphics cards i noticed that my present card
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 513mb AGP is retailing at around £80 new and a little lower b-grade. Is this correct?
I was just going to throw it out but i may sell this to go towards my upgrade costs.
Can someone confirm that i'm not seeing things as i presumed AGP was dead and it's cards had de-valued to very little cost.

Look online for some stores that sells it at used, then knock 15% - 20% off the lowest price. That would be a good starting point.

If they are only sold as new then knock about 30% - 35% off the lowest price you can find.

Ebay is a good place to look. Here is one listed with 2 days left on it. It has bids on it already and is at $52 currently. Keep your eyes on it and see how many bids it gets and how much it sells for. That'll give you a good idea of the interest and value.

I've been suffering through this issue for about a year now. Pretty much nothing you do will fix it. It'll come and go as it pleases. Some times it will happen a lot, sometimes it won't happen for months.

I have a new fan/heatsink, and I have the VRM's with heatsinks on and everything. My temperatures are fine, but the problem still happens.

the x1950 agp card is the worst card I have ever owned. The performance on it is terrible in games, and lowering graphics settings never works either. This is after trying all sorts of drivers too.

And of course the most annoying thing is the loss of signal to the card.

This card should have two DVI connectors .. just try the second one. If this not helps use the latest ATI drivers .. full catalyst pack. Then try any older once. I had the same problem. Keep changing the drivers. I have had the same issue before
