When the video comes back, does it come back blocky or does it fade in 
from black to full color?
Is your sound coming from the display, or a separate amp?

Possibly a faulty card (was it new? or a "working" s/hand card?)  It is 
possible that when the other card failed, it damage it motherboard, or 
possibly the display.
If your sound is coming from the Display, then it might indicate that 
the previous card has damaged the display when it failed.
