Reseat your video card.
Make sure the video cable is connected.
Replace your video card.

The computer is fine. The video card is broke.
 
You most likely need to change your motherboard. It is definitely not something you will fix by yourself. Take it to the guarantee office or wherever they fix your computers and tell them you have a motherboard issue. They will either replace the motherboard or if it is fixable (doubtful) fix it.
