Help with video card

I recently moved my computer, before I moved it my add-in graphics card
worked fine. Now it doesn't work at all. When I plug the monitor into the
adapter cable that comes with it and turn on my computer nothing happens. I
have resorted to using my built-in graphics chip ( an Intel(R) G33/G31
Express Chipset Family but the problem is it dosen't work for many of my
games (which is why i got the new graphics card in the first place). PLEASE
HELP!!!

Have you tried physically removing the card from it's slot and then
re-installing it.....should be the first thing you do. :-)
