Unresponsive Video Card

[patrickquino]

So i've been playing a game, which suddenly crashed. When i rebooted, my screen was bigger than usual. When i checked DEVICE AND PRINTERS, my gpu has a caution sign beside it. And it said:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Can anyone help?

What card is it? Do you have the latest drivers? Is it seated properly?

 

[patrickquino]

It's Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT, it has the latest drivers and yes, it is seated properly.

Do you update the driver ?

 

[patrickquino]

Yes

Try reverting your graphic card driver version to the older version

 

[patrickquino]

I tried that too, but it still didn't work. It's messing up the boot-up screen. Instead of "Copyright of NVidia"
it says shit like "Brynpyryth b@ NVi@yd"

Try the onboard card and see if theres any error. If theres not, i think it might be your GPU problem.

Hmm... Try download a driver uninstaller program. I forgot what it is called.

Hey dudes i just opened up my cpu and discovered that two capacitors were blasted but one survived. I took a note of it's brand. It's FZ81 1500 6.3V. I looked it up on Google and realized IT SUCKS HARD. So, what do i do? IS IT A REASON WHY MY VIDEO CARD ISN'T RESPONDING?

Probably. Blown components are never good.

If you have a soldering iron and some skill you could replace them but otherwise you are probably better off buying a new GPU (assuming thats where they came from).
