My PC is detecting the wrong video card!

Okay, so here is the whole story. Basically this pc is fairly new lets say 2011-2012. It had a decent graphics card. (Could run minecraft over a few 100fps, league of legends like at 70fps and tribes ascend lowest settings. In like late 2012 my pc stopped working and started making beeps when I turned it on. After a month or two the computer just randomly turned on when I turned it on and it worked! The most recent game I played on it was tf2 on highest settings. I now cant even run tf2 at 640:480!!!! I went to start typed dxdiag and I noticed I have an integrated chip which is the nvidia geforce 6150se nforce 430! That IS NOT MY GRAPHICS CARD! THAT CHIP IS A PIECE OF JUNK! I just noticed that this month. Its been quite some time since It randomly started working and now I realized this is not my graphics card! How could my pc randomly detect that chip. Its not my graphics card. I have a feeling something went wrong. When it stopped working before and was making beeps I moved it in to the garage and then later I plugged it back in to try to fix it on a new desk and I had to re plug in all the wires and stuff.... So I think that maybe the card got loose or something when I moved it back. Or maybe the pc has the 6150 on default or something I NEED HELP! I really want to play games!
 
ThE video chipset that found now is the onboard video chipset.
With your pc you could have three points of failure to look at.
The power supply can't output the voltage for the upgrade gpu.
The gpu fan failed...card over heated and died.
The video slot on the mb went bad.
I would try the video card in another pc or put in another video card to see if the system see it.
 


I am sorry, I didnt really understand what you just said. So what are the problems? I dont have another graphics card or anothe pc to change the card or check if the system reads it. You said there could be 3 problems can you give me some solutions for these problems step by step? Because I am not that good with computers D:
