So if we can access to bios, means the video card is working?

If you can view the Bios, the video card works in ega/vga standard mode.

This is not enought for saying that all is ok, because I had a video card that after the correct installation on Windows, with its drivers, it display a series of rows in the others configurations except in vga standard mode.

It's possible that video card is damaged and it can display only some configurations, like the simple ones
