Hello!

First off I know that my pc and my components are old but currently I'm all out of the greens for a new pc or new components.

My graphics card 8800gtx was working flawlessly over 2 months with this PSU I bought from some local guy, the PSU wasn't new it was used and probably pretty old, togeather with the GPU that was also used (PSU model: Delta electronics GPS-550 B A).

Now the first proplem I encountered was my HDD bluescreening and I traced the problem back to the PSU not working properly and being outdated. Few days later my games started crashing with green and white lines all over the screen, also it started bluescreening from driver failiure.

Now my question is, is it my graphics card or the PSU causing the display driver failiures?

Thanks!

Could be both lol, both of those things seem like you bought them when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and humans lived in caves.
Nah, I do honestly think it's your PSU mainly but that could have screwed over your GPU, since bad PSUs can damage everything.
