    Well, replacing it will mean replacing the motherboard which is hassle. You could always buy a cheap dedicated graphics card, make an upgrade out of this!

    That means you've got both a dedicated and integrated. Try plugging your monitor into whichever one you're NOT using now.

    If neither work it might not be your graphics card, but to be certain, plug your monitor into the other one and physically remove the dedicated one at the bottom.

    Ah, what i thought you meant was two ports in different places, one at the top of the PC, one at the bottom, if they're both next to each other obviously you can't do that.

    You're not being specific enough. Perhaps a pictorial version will help.

    Is your graphics card like this:

    or is your pc like this:

    But with a graphics card at the bottom as well?

    So there is only one blue one? That means you don't have built in GFX, and your video card is probably bad. Did you check to see if windows starts up? Turn on the speakers, see if you can hear the start up sound.

    pizat, according to the link you posted for your motherboard, you have on board video card.
    Graphics - Integrated Real 256E 3D Graphics - Memory Max. 64MB

    yes as it has a black circle port for s-video next to the blue monitor one at the bottom is this what needs replacing to get my computer going again

    Well pizat if it's the one on the bottom, I would say your card is dead. Try plugging it into the one at the top, see what happens.
    P.S. Are you sure your monitor is plugged in to the wall socket? (that part was just a little joke)

    i have already tried that and it is not working so would it be best to get a new graphics card?

    Well if you have tried the vga port on your card and nothing is happening, Yeah I would pick up a new card. But find out if you can return the card just incase it's not a problem with the card.
    Good Luck

    Well that depends on how much you want to spend on a card and what you normally do with your computer.(gamer, movie watching, internet surfing, etc.)

    Lets us know.
