The only thing I may say on that is - who is the manufacturer of your graphics card?

Appearing when booting should mean it's in the BIOS - eventually - if any serious problem appears in Windows - to try to flash it /if you can find an appropriate BIOS and the necessary tool, probably on the site of your manufacturer/ - but better I think is to try to contact the manufacturer before that.

Hi Pepe2907

My card is still giving problems. Though the letters are in order, the start-up screen is having blue dots scattered and some black dots are appearing on the white letter at the time of booting. My card is manufactured by Sparkle.

Recently. I had taken the card to a repairing shop. He repaired and the card was perfect for some 12 hours or so. When it started showing problems again, I detached the card from the CPU and looked at the card in detail. I could find some white material pasted between the fan and the chip. I presume that the card is being overheated while in application and the card needs "heat sink" to be done over again.

Thanking you

If that s the case, thermal paste might be what you need -
