I was told to reseat my video card and after doing so I had no connectivity. Could someone help me get it going?

It's possible to activate the onboard video and keep the graphics card installed. You will need to play around with BIOS settings most likely.

However it's also possible that just having the card in your system is causing system hangs, even if it's not being used. It's worth a try.

Before I take everything apart I better ask how to get the onboard video to work? I tried taking that card out and it really doesn't want to to come out easily! Could I just activate the onboard video and leave the card in?

I opened the case and the internal fans are whirring.

You have onboard video and a separate graphics card?  I would remove the graphics card and use the onboard for a while.  If it doesn't crash you know it is related to that card.
Have you already ruled out overheating by opening the case and blasting it with a fan?

Well darn... that wasn't the problem. It just crashed the entire system after about 15 minutes. SOOOOOO.... back to the original request for information:

probably you graphics card driver. Which one do you use on which platform and operating system?

the driver manager on my Linux Mint18 system says the driver is:

amd64-microcode
Version 2.20160316.1
Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs

Which I guess is the driver if I was using the on-board video but I just looked at the card and written on the back is 'RoHS'. I wasn't to sure if that was the video card's manufacturer so I looked it up.... and it is. Now I'm lost..... I don't know how to find out the specific card or how to install it's driver:(

As it is looking now it was my card. This is a note to someone who I hope helped: Thanks for inspiring me to look up the video card driver. There was one listed but the button next to 'do not use' was blacked in.

I am thinking it is my video card. Is there something I need to do to access the video card or to make usable??

 modprobe k10temp

and then check the output of the sensors command

Subject [PATCH] k10temp: temperature sensor for AMD Family 10h/11h CPUs


The k10temp driver has been in the kernel since 2.6.33. look at the
config for
your kernel to see if CONFIG_SENSORS_K10TEMP is there. I imagine your
kernel
already has the moduile built, unless you have been building your own.

try 'modinfo k10temp' and see if it is there already.
