Hey guys,

Im usually able to handle my own problems but im stuck here. Its probably my old gtx 460 giving up on me but might aswell see if any of you guys can help out.

So, title is the error, the message spams alot and screen starts flickering. If any graphical image is on the screen it gets big black boxes. Sometimes i also get the bsod,with the error message "attempt to reset display driver and recover from timeout has failed". I' ve tried evertything from dusting my computer to reseting cmos, ans the computer to full factory settings. Also everything inbetween Im all out ideas, should I just give up? any tips? Dont have a second gpu to troubleshoot with.

Using gigabyte gtx 460 oc rev 2.0 Amd phenom ii 965 be gigabyte ga 990fxa ud3 A 64gb sdd and a terabyte hdd 650 watt psu

Yeah man if you got $500-600USD lying around you can built a decent PC for work and stuff, and if you want Gaming you can get a real nice PC for around $750-800USD
