Windows XP

I have a dinosaur Compaq Presario and a Viewsonic monitor. I am not
technically inclined and I am need help PLEASE.

I have sporadic problems with getting my monitor to start. A) Light
is on, but nothing on the screen. I have to click the button several
times before I see anything. B) Last week all I saw on the screen were
the icons but a white background. Someone has suggested that it may be a
problem with my video card. Is there any safe 'free' on line site where
I can check my video card?

If I need a new video card, can I who is NOT TECHNICALLY inclined
installl this by myself. I am not cheap, but just cannot afford to
bring this to the shop or buy a new computer.

Thanks!
