I installed Windows 7 and then found out the video chip set was not compatiblem because they kept shutting down my monitor. I need to put in a video card. I noticed there is an extra slot that looks like a graphics card slot in one of the expansion card slot. Is this a graphics card slot, and if so, what kind? Thanks.

Are the games Windows 7 compatible. They should have a notice on the box. If not, you can try installing them in compatibility mode.

Here's some tricks I would try...
1. Verify the monitor's power cord is plugged firmly into the wall outlet and the back of the monitor.
2. Verify the monitor cable is firmly connected to the computer and the monitor.
3. Verify that you have turned the monitor power switch on.
4. If the power light on the monitor is not on, test the wall outlet (plug in a light or something you know works).
5. If the power light on the monitor is not on, try a different power cord.
6. If the power light is on and yellow or orange or flashing, but nothing displays, or the display is incorrect, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor probably needs replaced.
7. Also, you could try your monitor on a friend's computer. If it doesn't work, your monitor probably needs replaced. If it works properly on your friends computer, the problem may be with your computers video output port, motherboard video chip (or video card, if you have one), or drivers.
Good luck.

Remove the Power Cord, Open the Case and remove one of thememory chips. Set the chip aside then try rebooting the computer. If it boots, then you know the memory chip you set aside is bad so mark an x onit with an ink pen. If it fails to boot then move the chip to the nextmemory slot and try rebooting. If it fails take the chip out and set itaside, then put the other chip in and try booting it in both slots. If itboots, just to verify that the chip set aside is bad, mark an x on it and putit into the open memory chip slot and try booting.

this is teh driver you need (windows 7 ) If you need it for windows xp ..you have to select the os first .
Also if you need it for a 64 system select it ..and install it after download.
Use the hdmi for to have a hd image ..and select the correct port in the monitor ..
restart after finish the driver installation .and make the settings
after..Also check the board in device manager to be proper installed (right click on computer icon ..select properties than device manager (for xp select first hardware ) ..and in helist look under display ..and the driver should be present by name and not with yellow color and exclamation or ask sign ..
Also it may need some settings in the video card ..so open the settings for video card in control panel and look up for what should be set ..specially related with the secondary monitor and the hd mode..

First, is the TV the only connected monitor? Second was the TV on and set to VGA (press the Input button and then up/down arrows) before the computer was turned on.

If you are seeing an invalid mode message and the TV is the only monitor attached, you need to shut down the computer and leave the TV on the VGA input. (Turn off the computer or press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice.) If this doesn't work, you may need to use another monitor and adjust the resolution output for the computer's video and then connect to the TV.

If you have another monitor, you may need to make sure that the VGA port is enabled. (Some laptops will have this disabled in the BIOS. Depending on the brand of computer, you can access the BIOS by pressing Esc, F1, F2 or F10 repeatedly just as you turn on the computer.) Next you may need to adjust the active display. In Windows 7, right click on the desktop where there are no program icons or windows. Then select Graphic Properties. Set the computer for monitor 1 or 2, extended display or both (at least on my HP laptop). Click Apply and then confirm your . (alternatively: Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display) For my desktop, this is set under Screen Resolution in the same manner.

I hope this helps.

(at least on all of my computers, if the TV is on first, Windows 7 will autoset to the best resolution that the graphics and monitor can handle.)

You need a new video card, your video chip does not support Windows 7 as noted near the bottom of this page.

Intel 845G 845GL 845GE 845GV Chipset Features

in windows power settings, you ajust the time the monitor runs and shuts down one setting is do you want the monitor to stop after 5,10 or so mins you answer never that will cure the shut down

The KVM switch you have did not support "Active Full-time DDC" which Windows 7 need to keep communicating with all connected systems over the KVM switch. Two solutions: find a DDC Ghost adapter put in between the KVM switch and connected Win 7 system. Or just replace a new KVM switch which support Full-time Active DDC function - such as ConnectPRO new PR or UR serial KVM switches.

Yup, Windows 7 Beta 64 bit, same issue.

change ram and try again
