  Hello, i just moved house yesterday. The first time i on my comp , there was a blank image. All the cables were properly inserted and the computer was giving signal, just that it is black screen( after i unplug i saw 'no signal' on the screen meaning that the screen is fine)
  
  Then after a few hours i on the computer again and it worked.
  
  However, after i went to the display properties, i found that i am only limited to 24 colour bit while before i could use 32 bit.
  
  And the graphics of my games were also changed to 640*860 16-bit. The graphics totally sucked.
  
  Also, i cant seem to find the graphics card that i was using which is geforce2pro/gts on the computer manager. They say im using a plug-in Intel(R) 82815 Graphics Controller (Microsoft Corporation)
  
  Please help me!

  I'm not sure but I think you need to download the driver for your card.

  Thank you for your reply.
  
  I downloaded the driver, which is the correct one as it worked previously before i moved house. However, it cannot be installed.

  Try to delete the driver and then open up the casing and re-seat the card. Maybe your graphics card might have come loose during transport?
  
  Then reinstall the driver.

  Remove your graphic card from the mainboard. Plug in again and start up your pc. Install the driver ( CD ) for the graphic card.
