may be cheaper just to replace it

Actually the most likely case is the monitor, if you could borrow one just to test with. Or if you have (or can borrow) another video card to install before buying a new one.

Bill, don't worry about it (Ray gave me some points) but the important thing is that you have the solution :~)

We work as a team here, at least some of us do.
Glad you got it figured out.

I lost green on my monitor and found it was a bent pin on my monitor cable. I found it hard to straighten, but have got it working again.
