Luckily my motherboard has on-board video, temporary i’ve removed  the graphic card, and use the built in display.  This is the advantage of buying a motherboard with built in display, in case anything happen to graphic card, u can still use your PC.

Tomorrow need to look for new VGA fan, see whether this card can run or not…
