Yup Shared memory. used for the GPU

No issues at all, you will only be able to run at the refresh rate of the tv - which is usually 60hz. I've been running my pc on a 55in sony tv for years, and it's as reliable as any monitor, although you're likely to have a slight additional input lag compared to a monitor.

Agree with CryoBurner - 3rd person games where camera control and character control needs to be analogue is far FAR superior on a pad with two analogue thumb sticks. as are fighting games, racing games, side/vertical/twin stick shooters, platform games... Of course 1st person games, RTS, or any...

Yes, Most modern games will run just fine at 1920x1080 you may not be able to hit high framerates with settings at absolute max. - but you'll have a very playable experience with your machine.

When you start getting bad blocks it's only a matter of time until the drive goes wrong, if you have precious data on there then just get a new drive immediately, a 1 or 2tb disk isn't very much money these days, especially if you're worried about losing your data.

1) The monitor itself is definitely ok? 2) Any beeps when powering up? If not, then it sounds like it could be a dead motherboard... it's also worth trying the gpu in a different pc - just to check

I'd try plugging the old HDD into another machine to see if it spins up.
