A graphics card that fits into an internal slot on the motherboard. A basic graphics card is usually in a standard computer. A gaming computer will have a much more powerful graphics card, even one cooled by its own fan.

What is the purpose of a video card?

Video cards exist to connect a computer to a monitor and to provide a display to the monitor. There has to be a way to convert the signals available on a computer's bus to the types of signals a computer monitor needs. So this is what a video card does. Accelerated video cards help take the strain off of your computer when your playing a game with really good graphics. They do this by having dedicated rendering circuitry inside the GPU so the CPU doesn't have to do this work.

You want to use a second monitor for presentations and you don't want to show your desktop?

The following is from Microsoft Help and Support:To install additional monitors # Turn off your computer. # Insert your additional Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) or Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) video adapter into an available slot. # Plug your additional monitor into the card. # Turn on your computer. Windows will detect the new video adapter and install the appropriate drivers. # Open Display in Control Panel. # On the Settings tab, click the monitor icon that represents the monitor you want to use in addition to your primary monitor. # Select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box, and then click Apply or OK. If the check box is not displayed on your computer, it may be because your video adapter does not support multiple monitors. See Notes for information about compatible hardware. Notes * To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display. * Selecting the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box allows you to drag items across your screen onto alternate monitors. Or, you can resize a window to stretch it across more than one monitor. * To use the multiple monitor support feature, you need a PCI or AGP video adapter for each monitor. If you have an onboard video adapter (one that is not a plug-in card but is part of the motherboard) that you want to use as part of a multiple-monitor configuration, it must be set as VGA. To find hardware that is supported by Windows operating systems, visit the Windows Catalog on the Microsoft Web site. * If your computer doesn't recognize your second monitor, click Display Troubleshooter for more information. * The operating system always needs a VGA device. The computer's BIOS or EFI detects the VGA device based on slot order, unless the BIOS or EFI offers an option for choosing which device is to be treated as the VGA device. * The VGA device cannot be stopped, which is an important consideration for docking units. * The monitor that is designated as the primary monitor will display the logon dialog box when you start your computer. In addition, most programs will display windows on the primary monitor when you initially open them. * If you are using Dualview, skip steps 2 and 3 above. Just plug your second monitor into the video out port on your portable computer, or into the second video out port on your desktop computer. When you turn on your computer, it should recognize the second monitor. Follow steps 5 through 7 to extend your display to the second monitor. If the second monitor is not shown on the Settings tab, you might need to update your display driver. When using multiple monitors you may configure the computer to show the same information on all monitors or you may configure the computer to show separate information on all monitors.If you do not show the same information on all monitors you can drag windows from the main screen to the alternate screen.

How the computer monitor connected to the computer?

there are 2 monitor plug in inthe back of my dell demension c521. i have always plugged the wires into the bottom connection. it stopped working, ( screen black)so the people i bought it from plugged it into the middle plug in.. computer has a picture now.. but everything looks diffrent and runs diffrently. why would that happen and witch one should i be plugged into? You need a SVGA cable or S-video cable depending on your "monitor out" configuration. Doesn't matter if it is a PC or laptop, Windows or Mac system. Make SURE the SVGA cable is 2-male ends because the computer and monitor EACH have female ends. Visit Best Buy or Fry's Electronics if you are unsure what will work.


How can you correct computer screen problems?

It depends on the problem. Could be corrected by going to Control Panel, Display Options and making the corrections. It may be because the monitor is going bad or a magnetic fied is interfering with the displayMaybe a setting on the monitor itself needs to be changed. It could be a bad cable connection. There's no one fix for everything. Not even just replacing the monitor because the monitor might not be the problem.
