Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me get my on board graphics card working again.

I had installed a new graphics card and driver, NVIDIA GeForce 5200. After reseting my computer I found that it was not sending any signal out to the the monitor. I had set the Init. Graphics Adapter
Priority Int-VGA/PCI from PCI/ Int-VGA (Default)in the BIOS although this made no difference either way.

In the manual it told me to uninstall any old drivers so by right clicking the desktop/properties/settings/advanced/adapter/properties/ then from the drop down list device usage I selected do not use this device. I then reset my computer and now I have a blank screen.

I can't start it in safe mode and there's no signal coming from the graphics card or the on-board graphics card.

I'm not too sure what to do but friends online have suggested doing something with the CMOS jumper or reinstalling windows.

Any help would be great:)
 
If your not even getting a bios screen try resetting your bios. Near the motherboard battery there should be a jumper called something like CMOS RESET. Depending on the motherboard there are either 2 or 3 pins. You move the jumper over for a few minutes and move it back or with 2 pins you put the jumper on it for a few minuter and take it off. This is done with the computer off and unpluged!
 
Ace! that worked.

Once in safe mode I enabled the graphics card from the device manager and rebooted, I'm was back on !:):):):)
