Hello, I have a dell dimension 1100 and I think the video has gone out. I get no video on the monitor.
The question that have is it better to get a motherboard or a video card? I have never replaced a motherboard is it hard?

Hi, Before buying a part, make sure that you have identified the faulty component.
Does the computer have a case speaker (beeper)? When it used to work, at startup was it beeping?
When you start it now, do the CPU and the case fans spin? Is the PC still under warranty?
