my brother gave me his video card Nvidia FX5200. but when i placed it in the slot my mobo said "system failed vga test". i tried placing it again and again but the result is the same. so i decided to disconnect the plug of the vga port from the video card. then my mobo did not say any failure.

i was wondering if it is possible that the vga port has problem and the dvi port doesn't have? i couldn't test if the dvi port is ok coz i don't have a dvi cable right now.

or any other suggestion why does my mobo says "system failed vga test"? the video card seems ok, i was just wondering how could it possibly be damaged when we don't even dropped it?????
 
DId you have onboard video before or another video card? if you had onboard video did you disble it in the bios when installing the card?
