nVidia GeForce 8400 GS isn't working
Hi, i have a nVidia GeForce 8400 GS but yesterday it stopped working, i dunno why. all i was doing is homework and turn the computer off normally(not using any kind of graphics) and when i come back from school and i turn on the computer the screen shows "No Input" as if it was disconnected, but the computer was running normally because i could manage to write my user password and log in to windows but my screen wasn't showing anything yet. The only way i could see anything was to remove the graphic card and turn on the computer because it doesn't matter if i connect the screen to the motherboard or to my graphic card; it wont show anything unless i take out the graphic card.
I tried uninstalling the nvidia graphic driver but when i tried installing it again it from the CD it wouldn't let me because i didn't have the graphic card inserted and i can't install it with it inserted because i can't see anything.
Anyone knows how to fix this issues? i an barely play any game i have and its really annoying.

I have
WindowsXP service pack 3
Pentium D 2.80 GHz
1 GB RAM

Is there was "No input", which makes me thing there is no image at all, how could you write your password on the screen and login into windows?

Can you explain in a more organized way?

Thanks

the monitor was plugged in but my screen was only showing "No input" and i have other 3 monitors that are working perfectly but when i use them i get the same problem.

i can write my password without looking at screen by pressing down (in windows xp) and then my passord -> enter; with the speakers i heard the windows login sound so i suppose i logged in.
