Things can go bad at any time. If still have warranty rma it.

The warranty ran out. So buying a new graphics card will fix the problem. Or should I take it to my computer repair shop

i would test the card in another computer first. the repair shop can test the card also.

I don't have another computer sadly

No friends or relitives that you can test the card in to save you money

I turned on my computer today and the screen turned on the light turned from amber to blue my computer seems to work fine as it did before. But when I turned on my computer before it booted to windows it gave me some message about sata port 0 and then it went from 0-100% then my computer booted like normal. What could this mean. I'm to scared to shutdown my computer thinking the screen will stay black again

To be honest I do not know. Maybe a cable is loose when you took card out. You using the card or on board video.

I'm using the GT640 card. But why does thy SATA port 0 message mean when I turn on my computer

This is just a guess cause I don't know why but your hard drive is probably plugged in sata port 0 I would check to make sure cables are plugged in all the way

Scratch that now when I turn on my computer it turns on for a couple of seconds than turns off and then turns on again and does that same loop
