Hello, In the past 6 months I have been having no gpu. It broke ( or so i thought) after I played some Skyrim. Now I after some boring months I decided to investigate what REALLY happend. The pc works fine without the gpu. But as soon as I insert it I get weird lines on my screen when on desktop ( goes from top to bottom of the screen). When the pc is booting i get random squares/lines (lines go horizontally if it helps any) on my screen. I thought this was gpu being broken, but when I opened CPU-Z and moved it from the lines that covered my gpu info the lines transferred over to the CPU-Z bar and blocked the view entirely. Making the software impossible to read. The pc also crashes when I install gpu drivers. If I have them installed from before, it crashes upon startup.
My specs:
Gpu:Nvidia gt 8600 (256mb)
Motherboard:Asus p5b-mx
Ram: Kingston 1GB (1 ram brick)
CPU: intel core 2160 1,8ghz (overclocked to 2,340ghz, 30% overclock)
(Yes I know my pc is Really old)
(I overclocked AFTER the gpu broke).
My question would be: How do I fix the crashes and lines covering the screen?
If it is not possible to fix what's the best gpu to buy, for this system?
(Need gpu with similiar performance,preference would be 512mb, and made by nvidia, yes i know i wont get gtx 780TI or 980 for my system).
Thanks.
