Hi Tom,
When you say the video card doesn't work, do you mean there is nothing
at all when powered up? No POST or BIOS display messages? Or does it
typically get that far, then die out when Windows boots?
If the former, then I would suspect perhaps a bad power supply. A bad
supply can cause all sorts of funny things.
If the latter, then perhaps the system has a virus. Try running a virus
scan on it.
