I tried repairing some issues with my video card and used methods that I have acquired from searching the internet. Apparently, it worsened the situation because now I am just getting a stop error whenever I turn on my machine. I ran the troubleshoot program and it indicated that I do not have a video card, could the video card be broken or should I just remove and restore the program again?
