When I turned on my computer today, I couldn't get any signal through my 7600GT PCI-E video card. I tried turning the computer on and off and switched between 4 monitors to get it to work. When the signal finally showed up on one of the monitor, I reset windows vista and it stopped working again. I tried using the on board 6150 with vga and the 7600GT just dissappeared off the hardware list. Is my video card dead? I could still feel it warming up, but I can't get any signal through any of my monitor without turn on and off the computer...

take out the vid card, go to bios, and re-enable the onboard if its disabled
ifu get no signal, then ur motherboard is fried.

Why would his motherboard be fried? If it was then he probably wouldn't be able to boot at all.
Check for any loose cable connections from your monitor or video card. Is you're sure everything is connected fine try re-seating the video card. Is the computer turning on every time you push the power button? I mean are fans spinning and you know the computer is booting into windows but you just aren't getting any video output.

I had this happen once. The physical port (15 pin VGA, not DVI) was busted. Fortunately I found the missing part rattling around in my computer and put it all back together. Card works great to this day!
