be even more absent in this coming week as I just purchased a new graphics card. I'm not sure if I can do it myself. If I can I'll be very present :D if not, my comp goes to the shop and I should have it back by friday!

its easy to install a new card..
literally plug it into your PCI slot (or agp whatever)
and install the driver cd :P
reboot..there ya go!! WOO!
oh..and if you still have a black screen..remember to plug your monitor cord into the new card slot instead of the old one LOL... i did that once :(
do I take the old one out too?
yes take the old one out. replace it with new one. then during reboot after installing the new card pop your driver cd in. install and then reboot.. just follow the prompts.
Ahah. I'm retarded. I paid the guys over at CompUSA 30$ to install it. It literally took me 10 seconds to swap the cards!!
Dont feel bad ,im not to teck savy also.
i read books about comp's and buildin them before i even made a attempt
to build mine .ordered all the part's thur place's online and slowly build it in
4 month's while readin all i could on them just so i didnt mess it up .
this was 3 yrs ago .
but with all the new stuff comin out ,looks like i mite try too make a newer faster comp.
I am tech savy on the software side, hardware side, not so much :cool:
