How do you know when a video card is failing? (Not caused by over heating)
Hello, I had freeze ups and artifacts during 3d game play. I got some dust remover. I cleaned the dust. I rebooted & got scan lines in the boot up routine. I rebooted again and the lines went away. Unfortunately games still fail to render. Used PassMark PerformanceTest V4.0 to do some tests. Less than 2 fps :?( Windows runs fine but I don't turn off my pc. Maybe there would be more problems if I did. Maybe my Geforce2 MX/400MX is old even though the pc was brewed in March 2003. It has a heat sink but no fan. Is it heat that is the cause? How do you know when the video card is failing? Help please, -- Windows XP Home Edition Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.8GHz Card name: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400, 52.16 Memory: 256MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902) BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Mother Board System Model: ASUSTeK Computer INC. - A7N8X Monitor: Hitachi CM751 Sound Devices: NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Disk Model: Maxtor 6 E040L0 SCSI Disk Device 40GB CD-RW Model: CyberDrv CW078D CD-R/RW SCSI CdRom Device Front Side Bus Speed: 2x 133MHz (266MHz data rate) |
