Have you reseated the video card and checked cabling?

to reseat it, just remove it from the slot and place it in again.

Was this working before and which operating system was installed at that time?

There are a number of articles on the Microsoft site with instructions for dual boot systems.

do you have another video card you can use to put in there to see if it works? if it does work then your other one is probably fried
