Preface: I'm an intermediate PC user and former electronics tech, circa 1967.
OK, this PC is getting a little long of tooth.
ASUS CG5270-BP004 MOTHERBOARD E4576_P5QL-VM EPU
I THINK I got it refurbed, around 2010. I was running Win 7 on it until I made the BIG mistake of doing the "free upgrade" to Windows 10. Since then, it's made my life HELL by changing the video drivers all the time, with each "update" so that they go into BSOD mode constantly, with unstable video. Then I have to run radeon-crimson-relive-17.3.3-minimalsetup-170321_web to get things stable again. My video card is a Radeon HD 5670.
So from what I can tell, that card is plugged into a PCIe X16 slot ( whatever that means - it says there's an X1 and an X16 slot, in the PDF manual, which I have here )
And NO, there IS NO way of keeping Windows 10 from automatically updating that driver! I've searched for it, and NO. Apparently only certain versions allow that and this is NOT one of them.
So anyway, I'd spring for $30 for a new video card, IF it's PCIe and would be designed FOR Windows 10, so this problem would be solved, once and for all.
I also picked up a newer refurbed PC last SUMMER and planned on moving everything to it, BUT have been SO BUSY with my part time home based business since then that I haven't had time to do much of anything, except keeping this PC running so I can keep my business running.
I have tons of stuff on this PC - my whole computing life since 1994, including everything my little business needs, and I am NOT looking forward to the ordeal of moving things from this older ( now Windows 10 ) PC to the newer one, which I purposely bought with Win 8.1 to avoid the HELL I've been through since "upgrading" to 10!
I'm thinking that it could soak up 80 hours of my time, which I JUST don't have.
So YES, I've been in AVOIDANCE, while I have a perfectly nice newer refurb ( even has USB 3! Built in wifi...) sitting here in a box since last summer.
Anyway... are there video cards like this, around?
Thanks.
