Most likely the graphics card is dead or not setup properly. Try using another one.

Hi loblower

Welcome to CTH

Yes it could be that the graphics card on the computer is faulty, but it could be that the whole computer is faulty, you say you found it? Could it have been dumped because it was no good?

When you turn it on, does the power light come on? Do the fans run? Can you hear the harddrive operating? If you put a floppy disk in the drive does the light come on and the disk spin?

It could be the graphics card, memory, processor or motherboard. Where did you find it? In the bin?
