Installing a new cpu? WHAT HAPPENS

In most laptops you can't replace anything but the RAM so your out of luck for installing a new graphics card, although Intel HD graphics are integrated in the cpu so its hardwired in and can't be changed, but for most basic tasks it will be alright.

OK, I am curious how are you going to install a new graphics card without installing a new graphics card? "picking up and image from the CPU is there anything i can do to install a new PCI graphics card with out having too install the new graphics card"

You can install a different graphics card in the computer assuming you have an open expansion slot. If the Current Graphics card is actually installed in the AGP slot open the Main CPU unit and remove it then install the new card. If when you started the computer you saw anything on the screen, the DELL logo or Bios setup, the problem most likely is not the graphics card being bad but possibly that the settings in windows some how changed and it is set to something it can't support or the monitor has gone out. If it is the graphics card and it is built onto the motherboard you will have to install the new card and when the computer starts enter the Bios to change the BIOS settings to disable the on board card or it will give you problems with conflicting resources. Most graphics cards use the same resources so two cards in the same computer will conflict with each other and neither will work. I would test with a different monitor before replacing the graphics card.

If you connect and turn on the printer then turn on your computer it should start the found new hardware wizard. don't do anything until or IF it asks you to install the disc, the make sure you direct it to find the files under the correct drive letter which is usually "D" or "E" .Good luck, .Dana

hello, remove your processor, blow the processor sit, wait a for some time and fix back the processor. this always happen when the processor is getting tired(old).or when the cpu is dusty

Sounds like your Video card is not installed properly, you should take it out and then put it back securely into the motherboard. If its installed properly the monitor should come on during the start up screen at least to show the type of video card installed.

Also let me ask what model was your old Video card?

Did you plug in the printer before you installed the drivers from your installation CD? If not, you need to uninstall the hp printer drivers and unplug the usb cord from the computer.
Restart your computer, run the installation cd, and then after the HP installation says it's complete then plug the usb cable into your computer. NOTE: Some HP driver installations ask you during the install to plug in your printer so the software can find it. If thats what happens then only plug in your printers usb cable when the installation software tells you to. Once it detects your printer the installation will continue. Make sure you keep hitting next or continue until the software tells you everything is installed. Now your all in one printer should work.

yes..that is a good disk..i recommend you have someone local do this for you, if it is a new situation for you. or are you wanting to learn this?

I think there may be another issue.. It could be the power supply.. Have you tried a new one?

Have you installed any additional ram lately?

You can use the old XP software with a new motherboard, but it can be a pain in the **** to set-up if it is the OEM version of Windows, or a Recovery Disk that came with your machine..

What you could do, if you bought another motherboard, find someone with a Genuine Windows XP disk, and use your Product Key to install it..

No power or computer does not turn on. Additional information to why you may be recieving now power from the computer and/or why the computer is not turnning on.

Installing a pc computer power supply
Once no power supply is installed into the computer, place the new power supply into the computer and screw the screws into the back of the power supply.

POST troubleshooting steps. Note: Make sure your computer is turning on, if you press the power button and nothing happens (no lights, no sound, no fans, etc.

Good Luck, Please dont for get to Vote/Thank You.

does your motherboard has a builtin video card? u probably connected your monitor to it which supposed to be connected to your new installed video card.
