If I blew out my on-board video, will I still be able to install a video card?

I have reason to believe I blew out my on-board video in my Intel D101GGC desktop board. Will I still be able to install a PCI video card so I can continue to run my current computer until I have all the components for my new build? I ask because If I to install drivers for it I will not be able to do so... because I cannot see.

I plan on buying a cheap one just to run it for three more weeks.



I'm pretty sure installing a video card will override the on-board video automatically. Will this work? Or will the inability to install drivers for it get in the way?|||If you are sure that your computer still works except the onboard video then adding a graphics card will get it to work. Your computer will work on vga mode with drivers from the os so you can install the supplied drivers later.|||Yes.|||I built my computer and it did NOT recognize my graphics card until I did install the driver. It is a risk and unless I was going to build a computer (easily the best way to go for an affordable customized pc) and intended to use the card in the computer I built down the road, otherwise you definitely run the risk of wasting your money on the graphics card.
