Lately my GPU has been acting weird. Perhaps someone has some tips for me?
It's an NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT which I've had for almost 4 years.
The following problems occur:
- I can't couple a 2nd monitor (TV to watch a movie on) anymore.
- My PC sometimes crashes when I play Starcraft II. The screen is all messed up (green colors etc.) before it happens, so I suspect the video card.
- Right now I have vertical pink bars running through my screen.
I'm going to test to check if my 10 year old monitor isn't to blame, but I doubt it is.
I tried updating the drivers, but it didn't work. The most problems even occured since I've had the newest drivers. Now I'm trying to go back to the old drivers, but it's giving me errors. I'll keep trying.
A new card would be the last solution, but I don't like putting a new €100 card into a 4 year old PC...
Thanks.
