I have an old asus a8n-sli socket 939 amd rig and the video card (8800gts 640mb) apparently has died lol, I want to build a budget rig to replace it but since I determined was only the card that died, can I use a newer pci express card in old slot?
also do processors die slowly over time? or is it like it works or it doesnt? any test to see if its recieved dmg from the cards bsod's?
should I be concerned maybe its just the motherboard slot? I could get a pci instead of pci express card to be safe? my only desire is that it can output in hdmi(hopefully with audio included)
I am hoping the old amd 64 athalon 4000+ series cpu socket 939 and the new vid card together could pull off 1080p to my reciever with the audio also tossed in there, is this to much to ask for and should I just repair it as a storage server until I can get new rig for video playback also?
sorry for all the jumbled questions... running on fumes been up god knows how long now tearing my hair out trying to format a 250gb western digital drive on here that just wont work, partedmagic pretends like its cool and working and can format it, but windows jus thinks its broken it seems
