I just got a computer fixed, then a problem started. I believe its the video card because the computer starts up and u can see it on the monitor but when it logs into windows xp my monitor turns black, you can hear everything but you cant see anything. I would like for some help so if you can please reply to this message I would appreciate it.

right click with the mouse on the desktop not on the icons, left click properties, click on settings tab & slide the resolution bar at bottom left corner to 800x600. press apply & ok.

Whats your motherboard?
If you dont know of by heart then you cannot check via windows then do this when your computer is booting keep tapping delete and as soon as text comes up it will only last for 1-2seconds in order to read it push the button Pause/Break on oyur keyboard here it will tell you your ram your motherboard write everything down and post back. But once you have pushed pause keep pushing it as each push you do it will pause for 10seconds.
You are going to have to push pause quicly in oreder to pause your computer before it reaches the bios screen if it reaches the bios screen then its too late but keep trying.
Good Luck

Its the Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 driver which is screwing aorund with your computer you have to try and unisntall them then reinstall or just buy a new card Ati 9550 is only 98au now and its much better then your current one or just uninastall the drivers and you will be able to use your onboard card

well you have gotten yurself in a bit of trouble then.
try this in the bios go into Primary Video Adapter and out of Pci Agp and intergrated select intergrated and it should work after you take the 4500 out
