Hi, I know my computer is old but a new one is not feasible at the moment and besides I love this one. I am having issues and am not sure what i need to replace. It was crashing. I reinstalled windows 7. Heat was a problem so I re-installed the heatsink and that is now good. I installed a new psu, and upgraded the hard drive to WD black 1 T last year.
So the screen is so jumbled on boot I can't read anything. Before I was able to read between the lines in the beginning the event was that the driver for the video adapter failed. I was eventually able to manually install one but it kept failing. It did used to boot in safe mode with no graphic problem but now even in safe mode ... I can't read the words on the screen.
So my question: Would a logical step be to replace the graphics card or do you think the motherboard chip is toast? Where would you begin? What would you suggest?
I can make small purchases at a time but not one big one.
System is as follows. i7 920 2.67 ghz; ATI Radeon HD 4670, 6 g memory ... psu is only 360 watt... need any other info just ask.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME IF YOU CAN.
Thanks!
