Peta 494 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 So I logged on, played for 5 mins, game started to lag, than crashed. Since that, my monitor looks like this https://imgur.com/a/JXCUF what could be the problem? Quote Link to comment
Lucki 949 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 What video card are you running? Any chance you let it overheat or it is fairly old and decided to die? Quote Link to comment

Lethals Loaded 1224 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Either hardcore virus or dead/dying graphics card. May also be a ill-fitted card, ensure it is in properly and cables are not damaged. Quote Link to comment
Peta 494 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I vote for grap card. Yesterday I played 3 hours with no problem, now i turned on my PC, after like 15 mins that happened. I'm able to save my things to an external drive now, but the screen is still fucked up with these lines and so. Quote Link to comment
Admin -Shawn- 4536 Posted June 5, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 If you can still navigate through everything, try to delete any previous video drivers and install latest ones from manufacturers website after making sure your card is seated properly. If that doesnt fix it, id say your card is living it's last breath. Quote Link to comment
Peta 494 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Checked it, card was in properly. Im gonna take it to service tomorrow, or the day after. That means I could not play, only from a shitty lowend laptop Quote Link to comment

If you want to test the graphics card, take the graphics card out and hook the video cable from your monitor to your mobo and turn the PC on and see what the screen looks like. Quote Link to comment

Thanks dude, that was an awesome tip. Worked like a charm, so its confirmed that my video card is about to die. New question: What kind of video card would you buy from a $250-300 budget?

Lucki 949 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 There is a way you can possibly save your graphics card. My brother has done it twice in a few years and it's worked... You put it in the oven. Not even joking right now 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, prices might drop for some cards here soon because of the release of the new 1000 series from Nvidia, so if you want to wait til the 10th or a few days after that you might be able to get a better card IF the prices drop, but if you want to be safe and just get a card and continue playing faster, then I would get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-487-088&cm_sp=CraveWorthyTech-_-0531-0606-_-14-487-088-_-NA But, it is like $30 over your price range, but it's better than getting a card that is the nearest to under it which is the 960.

Admin -Shawn- 4536 Posted June 5, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I currently have the GTX 970 and it will definitely be an extremely huge upgrade. It will begin to be out-dated in the not-so-distant future so if you have some extra, swing for the park and hit up the GTX 1070. Quote Link to comment
Peta 494 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Don't forget the shipping fee And its another question if they ship to my shitty country ( Hungary ) 1 minute ago, DanteFleury said: I currently have the GTX 970 and it will definitely be an extremely huge upgrade.

Squirrel 3 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looks like shes finally going to the hillside, Do what everyone else is saying but if you get a new one you could try oven baking the old card and see if it fixes it. (not joking) google "how to bake your video card back to life" Quote Link to comment
BENJI 1021 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 First thing I would try is taking your motherboard battery out and putting it back in. If that doesn't work, then its most likely something to do with your GPU Quote Link to comment
