So I think my video card finally died. Had it for a while and it used to run pretty hot and whilst messing around a few games the other day, I was greeted to a lovely screen of red lines all over the place. So bad in fact that you could no longer see anything at all and I think the machine may also have crashed. I rebooted a few times and it would get in to windows ok but after a little while the screen would go mental again. I'm pretty sure that it must be the graphics card as nothing else would cause the red lines right? I know the most obviously thing would be to borrow another card of someone and try that but I can't find anyone who has one.
So, I just wanted to ask, considering I have a really old processor now (see my sig), if I were to buy a new cheap video card, what would you guys recommend? I know I should probably buy a whole new rig with the age of the componants but I can't afford it right now and just want a little bit more life out of it. Will probably replace it in the new year.
So yer, any suggestions?
