Video Card Upgrade
I found this GT 5694 on the trash without a HDD. I upgraded its memory from 4GB to its maximum 8GB, and I also upgraded its CPU to a Phenom X4 840 3.4GHz and it's running W10 fine. Graphics are a laggy though so I wanted to upgrade its graphics card. Suddenly the HDMI port no longer works or is faulty and another video card simply gives absolutely NO video output from either the VGA or HDMI ports. If I take the graphics card out I only get VGA output only. Any takers? I am aware that I might need to upgrade the power supply.

Check/upgrade your power supply first so you do not buy an expensive card just to find out it will not run. It will need two connectors for the graphics card too. Here is a video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9Kg9wT9P6E
