Hello everyone.
I recently bought a used GTX 650 Ti Boost and brought it to PC service so they could install it in my PC. It was advertised as working and tested. But, they said that the GPU isn't working correctly. Here's what they reported:
The GPU works for 10-15 mins, but makes the whole PC lag. After the time passes, it gives blue screen. That is without the drivers installed. When the drivers are installed, it doesn't work at all.
Reportedly, the fans on the card don't spin but the technician told me that there's no physical damage on the card. The GPU has been tried on 3 different PCs with different Windows versions (7, 8 and 10).
I want to know: would it be risky to fix the card (if it's possible) in the PC service? I paid 45 euros for it, but if the fixing is over 15-20 euros, I can't afford to fix it.
Does someone possibly know what's the problem or can give a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance!
P.S. My specs are:
AMD Athlon II X4 631 2,6 GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
500W Chieftec PSU
