How do you know whether a graphics card is contained in your CPU or not?
A graphics card is found on your mother board. Your Central Processing unit is completely different I'm afraid. An integrated graphics card means it will be used as RAM if its not needed anywhere else. Dedicated Graphics is naturally better than Integrated but it can only be used as graphics power. I'm not entirely sure what you were trying to get from this. But I hope this helps

How do you put a graphics card that you know is compatible into a Pakard Bell with an Intel Pentium 4?
The vgraphics card and and processor are separate entities. You do not do anything with the Pentium 4 processor when installing a graphics card. Simply put the graphics card in the AGP or PCI-E (they are bigger slots that look like pci slots) slot of your motherboard, plug in the power connnector if neccisary, then boot your computer. You will need to install drivers which are available online or on the CD included with the card. As with all hardware, make sure to avoid static discharge on the item.

Why is the display not working after a BSOD with irql less than or equal error for both the graphics card and the integrated card on motherboard?
Sounds like the integrated video card died. An integrated component can fail, just like an add-on card can. Don't dispair though, it doesn't mean you need to replace your motherboard. You can purchase an add-on card, you will need to know if you can use a PCI or AGP card. You can probably use a PCI card. Most motherboards will automatically disable the integrated video when you insert an add-on card. Be sure to ground yourself to the chassis by touching it before inserting any add-on card. A new display card will range in price, it can be more than a new motherboard, or can cost more.
Where does a graphics card plug into your computer?
If you have an external graphics card, it will be located in the agp slot on your motherboard. If you open the case on your computer, you should be able to see it. The agp slot is often at the top of and of a different colour to the PCI slots. Cards which are mounted on the motherboard are called onboard graphics cards and are a different matter. Consult your motherboard manual for layout and for where the onboard graphics card should be.
