What is the price of getting this profeesionally repaired? Or, Is it something I could do myself?|||It is extremely easy to replace a graphics card on your pc. Just unplug the power from your pc, remove the side panel, there should be one screw holding your graphics card in place. Remove the screw and (if any) remove the power cable to the card and then remove the card by gently pulling it straight out.
Install new one in the reverse order making sure that the card is firmly seated securing with a screw and (if any) power cable.
Just make sure that you get th right type of graphics card. There are only 2 types.
Either AGP or PCI-E. If you are not sure, just take the old one with you to the store and they can direct you to the correct one.
Once your card is installed just go to the card's manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. I would not recommend using the driver disc that it comes with as those are always out of date. The whole process should take you 10 to 15 minutes since you haven't done this before.|||check the link|||video cards are easy to replace just buy a new one take out the old one and put the new one in its hardly worth the cost to have a professional do it if there is no card and the old one is internal/chipset simply put the new card in install the drivers and off you go should only take 10-15 min while your at it grab a can of duster and clean the pc out|||why ? does the computer don't show something on the screen then check monitor cable or open the computer case and look at the video card if everything ok or try to push it a little bit or if your computer make beep then google a beep list and search for your bios manufacture and look if you found that's not the video card then email me at odehrish@yahoo.com.|||http://www.waterwheel.com/Guides/how_to/…|||Ok let me tell you the right way to do it. unplug pc from wall or whatever unscrew the screw holding the card in place and gently pull out dont force it.

A good video card could cost anywhere from $150-450.
A tech will install it for you for about $60 (labor for one hour)depending on where you take the PC to.
Depending on why you feel the video card is the problem, there could be other issues. I guess what I am trying to say to you here is that you mention nothing about what kind of PC you have or what the reason is that makes you think the video card is the problem. If a video card goes out your PC will not boot up...|||do it yourself, just make sure its the right kind for your pc, (pci, agp, pci express) install the drivers then shut it down, and put in the carde.
