Blinking cursor

Hi All,

Please could someone help with a problem I have.

I have an Windows XP machine and recently was attempting to create a
slide-show for XMas. Suddenly I lost all photos the screen
went blank. I had to reboot the machine but when it powered up the only
showing was all "Gobly-Gook". All attempts to rectify the
problem were in vein.

I replaced the video card with another one from my previous computer. It now
shows the BIOS etc ok but stops after loading the
memory and BIOS programs with a blanking cursor on the top left of the screen.

I have attempted to boot with a windows 98 boot disk this did not work.

Appreciate any comments on how to resolve this problem.

Regards.
