I need some computer help

[Byte Stryke]

The computer is probably 8 years old at least.

I do have an extra video card lying around, as long as your computer supports PCI-e....

probably not, I am thinking AGP if not straight up PCI
8 year old dell... hard to tell

I wouldn't mind an upgrade but prefer to let it stay alive if possible. I don't need a new computer. I NEED some more ammo

Looked it over, cleaned it out, tried a few things, swapped in a different card and it resolved the issue.
Diagnosis, card failure.

no need to replace the whole computer, nice little web surfer.
