Video driver problem?? Can't get image on monitor?!

Howdy, 1st post!! Hope you guys can help!! Okay, so I have aDell 560MT w/ windows 7. I am experiencing problems getting a display on my monitor. I plugged the monitor into my laptop and it worked fine, so I know it is not the monitor. Basically, when I boot up (no matter if I use HDMI, VMI, or VGA) I get a message on the screen saying "enter power saver mode" and the screen goes blank.

I've taken the battery out of the socket and EVEN reset the CMOS jumper and I still am getting the problem. Now, I did buy a new video card. If I reset the the CMOS jumper thing, and I plug in the new video card and plug in my monitor to that, will it default to that, or do I still have to disable the other one?

Please help!!! Thanks!!
Noah

 

Does this pc have onboard video or a card ? sounds like your video card is going bad ...
