Ok, to begin I have this computer for 3 years, and this problem is actually a wide array of small problems that have been going on for a year or two.
First of all, my computer sometimes won't boot, my solution to that was, seriously I'm not joking, get a hairdryer and gently heat/dry my PC. That seemed to solve this problem.
Some other times my computer wouldn't send signal from the video card output, no matter how much I did my hairdrying method(gently, I repeat). And then, one time, I tried to plug the video cord directly to the mobo, which worked, but that would mean that I wouldn't be able to use my video card. Next day that problem was gone, and I could use my PC through the video card output.
More recently, the computer suddenly freezes sometimes and after I've turned it off and turn back on, it doesn't seem to send any video signal.
Also I started noticing that my computer's clock(time) was off by a lot. I've looked into it, and the problem was actually the CMOS battery. So, I've bought a new one, switched it, and all of those problems, stopped happening for a couple of days(it could be luck or could be the CMOS battery, as the problems happen sometimes from days to days). But one problem that was surely fixed by the CMOS battery was that the time was correct.
After a couple of days, the clock started getting wrong again, suggesting that the CMOS battery ran out again. Leaving me to think that the fault of those problems are either: faulty Motherboard and/or Video Card. I'd like to see your thoughts before buying new ones, as they aren't exactly that cheap.
Thank you and sorry for that wall of text. Specs:
