Remove, clean, and re-seat it.
Let me know if that makes any difference.

The only sure test is to try it on another board - it could be your socket that has failed.
Or - maybe have you been messing with the settings in the BIOS? Try resetting it to default to see if that cures it - would not be the first time.

I had this problem with this card a while back
Left it out for a few days popped it back and it came to life
I think i will leave it today and try again tomorrow
I don't like the idea of resetting my CMOS Rik I'm scared

What would you rather do? - reset the CMOS or have another bottle of lambrini? No contest. I feel like getting smashed tonight too.

Your on-board is unlikely to have the same amount of memory as the card you have taken out so this might explain the slug like performance. You could see if there is a way of allocating more memory - go into the BIOS where you will find an option to do this but beware as this will use up some of your system memory!

Onboard graphics use some of your system memory and are therefore slower than a plugin card that has it's own memory.
They also tend to be less powerful chipsets too.

Follow Rik's Question first....
How old is your graphic card ?
Have you tried other PC to test graphic card?
