I had a graphics card ASUS AMD Radeon HD 6670 (1 GB version) but it started to show artifacts a month ago and the PC was not even responding so I took it and using Intel’s integrated graphics. From yesterday it started to show artifacts and the whole PC got hanged and it restarted itself. It happened thrice till now. I also had problems while turning on PC, fans spin then stopped then the process continued then after 5 attempts I got an error of BIOS got corrupted and it automatically boot up. I am not playing games, just videos. No overclocking, even the half of the RAM is not even used not the CPU.
