Sempron 2800+ has no built in graphics itself, so it's on the motherboard. 
But without informations about that, it's hard to tell what's the problem. 
At that time, SiS graphics were common in cheap computers with Semprons - 
that could be the answer. But I'm only guessing. I don't think this is 
processor-related.
