My p.c. tries to but there is no display on my monitor.
I suspect that my graphics card may be at fault. The last time I used the p.c., it seemed that the display was breaking up.
My graphics card is a XFX GeForce GTX260, about three years old. It sits in a PCIe slot and also has two 12V connection leads inserted along the accessible edge.
If I remove the 12V connections and reboot, I can hear the hard disk booting up. However, when I add the connections, the motherboard keeps beeping on boot up.
I've checked the 900W power supply and the output voltages seem fine.
On the basis of the above, is my problem likely to be the graphics card? Anything I can try before I buy a new card?
For a replacement, I was considering a EVGA 1GB GeForce GTS 450 from Scan. Would this be a decent like-for-like replacement?
Thanks
