I have an AMD Graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 5450 (1.0 GB) that needs to be replaced. What would be a good replacement without spending an arm and leg. I am not a gamer.

I purchased the PC from a PC repair and retail store. The monitor keeps blacking out then after a few seconds, comes back on. I am guessing that it is the graphics card starting to quit.One question is does it need replacing with another card? What CPU is installed and does the board have its own video outputs? Also, does the board have the correct video outputs for your display(s)?
Is the graphics card faulty?
The monitor blacks out then comes back on after a few seconds. I just figured that it could be the graphics card.What are your current computer specs?
CPU, OS, RAM, PSU size?
If you're not looking to play any games, you could probably get something sufficient for relatively little money.
Also, why would the current card need replacing if you're not really playing games?
I purchased this computer from a PC repair and retail store. The BIOS date is 3/22/2011, Ver: 6.06. Vendor is American Megatrends Inc.I hope you're not going to spend too much or expecting too much, considering that processor/ system is running on 13 year old hardware.
Is it flickering in the BIOS, or when you boot into Windows? If the system has integrated graphics, you could try to see if that works.
Thanks, I will look into that.This should be fine for OP: https://www.newegg.com/asrock-arc-a310-a310-lp-4g/p/N82E16814930111
Want even cheaper? Check on eBay.
Thanks, I will look into some of these.I would suggest a water cooled RTX 4090.
Or if that is above your price range, the cheapest video card you can find that has the output options you need.

The CPU that is currently in the unit is an AMD Athlon II X4 640.
Yeah. That's worth a try. Even twisting the power or display cable a bit may work.sometimes pulling the monitor power cable out and back in will sort it.
