sup, just sent pc in to get fixed. Basically got that nvlddmkm error for Nvidia (Display Driver has stopped responding but has recovered) - basically screen goes black every time you try to launch a game and fucks up. Then eventually PC blue screened, and every time I reboot the screen has vertical lines running down it.
So yea, $60 just for them to look at it, $110 labor fee +whatver other shit I need to buy.
I know the graphics card is fucked, tis an old Nvidia 7500 LE.
And teh Power supplys' power button doesn't stay off when you turn the switch off at the back, it just flicks back to on. Anyone know the cause of that?
PSU still works fine, so I'll probably just be up for a new Gcard.
If this is the case, anyone have any suggestions as to what might be a decent card to buy? I dont want to spend anything over $300.
Think PC specs are:
3.2Ghz AMD special editon black CPU (O_o)
Mobo: Lanparty 7900Gx
1GB Ram
Can't remem PSU
soz for the tldr, but yea opinions are valued. Basically I only play ren / might get back into WoW depending how boring life gets.
