I have a Gateway DX100X and the video card or i think it is a onboard Intel GMA 900 graphics processor, no longer works. I have done a little research online and I geuss it doesn't have a place where you can add a deicated video card. So how do I get this computer going again? Do I have to find a GMA 900 graphics processor and install it after removing the old one? If so what is involved in doing so, and where can I find a GMA 900 graphics processor( if that is what it needs)?

Jump to Posthard to help with that ,because it could be anything ,actuall it could be a bad power supply , or ram even ,do the cdroms open ,can you hear the windows sounds if enabled ,do you hear the harddrive running .
