Hello, Its already day 1 since my GPU won't work.

all I did is clean remove it from the motherboard to clean the other parts and BAM.

after I installed the GPU it wont work any more.... before it "died" (before I cleaned the PC)
it did not show any signs of artifacts, stability issues or something like that.

I want to buy a GTX 750 ti, but it will still take a month to get that money, and I BADLY want to play games.

do you think its a hardware compatibility cause I have been using this card for about 2 years now.

here is my spec :

core i5 3470
hd 5570
500GB HDD
4 GB RAM
generic PSU (been using this since 2 years)

I would just save for a month and buy the 750 ti. You will get a huge performance increase. Your games will also be more enjoyable

Well if your video card is dead which is most likely the case you don't have what is needed to play games. If you want a quick fix try buying a gt 620 for like 30 bucks while you save for a 750 ti. If you play mmorpgs or minecraft etc a 620 will be fine until you buy a new 750 ti

You can just use your integrated graphics till you can try out your card in another pc.

Even 5570 isn't capable of providing 20 fps. Lol

You can't really expect to get more when running on a igp. There is nothing that you can do without spending money on a decent video card for better performance

Sorry but I have a really hard time thinking that is true. I tried my old 9800 gt a while back that is a lot better than that card, and it only gave me 13 fps on low at a super low res. The only way people can help you us by being truthful. So if you want a new video card sooner just apply for a newegg account, or I don't know go walk dogs or cut lawns

or just wait one month, anyway, I still cant believe its dead since it did not show any signs of a "dying" GPU.
