Lenovo ThinkCentre 4285 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.

- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install like it should
