Hello everyone! Just a quick question with some pictures.
Is my graphics card going bad?
I can't figure out how to post pictures from my phone, but when I turn the computer on, the mobo screen is fragmented. The windows (xp) loading screen is a little discolored, and then it just sits at a black screen for a whole until it restarts itself. If I go to start it in safe mode or any other screen, I get a bunch of á's and other weird symbols all across the screen. I can access the BIOS fine, but I don't know what to do from there. I'm hoping its just the card has gone bad, but I'm not sure. The whole setup is about 6 years old. The card is an 8600 GTS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bryan.
