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)

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

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.
