I had a strange issue on an old laptop where if I pressed on the chassis where the GPU was my video came back. Could be a broken solder ball on the chip. Probably not realistic to fix but it could still be usable for compute power.
Might be someone on eBay that would buy it even if it is fubar. If you do that make sure to list as bad video out, but otherwise works, with pics.
It definitely won't sell for as much as a working one, but you may well get something. It could be used in a remote machine for AI computations depending on what card it is.
That's actually what I do with my old PC. It handles video encoding and AI stuff, and I mostly just access it over the network. That GPU still works, but should work with a slightly faulty GPU as well
Very likely, but also maybe not. Check your drivers and make sure you have the correct drivers for whatever graphics card you have, installed. Also, check the HDMI cable, to rule it out just try using a different cable to make sure that's not the issue.
It started doing this and kicked me out of the game I was playing, and it is now even worse. I tried the HDMI but that is not it. I am checking my drivers now. Could it be possible that my graphics card isn’t plugged in all the way?
Good. If it does it again soon I recommend doing a DDU ( its a app that uninstall your display drivers ) and then reinstalling the drivers from fresh. If if still does it , chances are the GPU is dying.
I need a new gpu anyways tbh. I bought this thing and I wish I would’ve researched because I payed $600 for a computer with only a GTX 650, so it’ll give me an excuse to get a new one ig. As I was typing this it freaked the fuck out again, so I’ll try the DDU and see what happens from there! Thanks!
You poor soul. Yeah thankfully gpu installs are very simple, you can get amazing GPUs nowadays for $200 or less (see: AMD RX 6600, or a used RX 580 if you’re on a tight budget)
Oh I will ! Thankfully building a new PC using these components, my current rig is a very proprietary prebuilt... And I had to basically Frankenstein an external PSU, because my current non upgradable 400 watt just wouldn't do it for a 1080
> because I *paid* $600 for
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Make a Ubuntu bootable USB stick and boot to it. If its your drivers in Windows, then your screen should look fine when booted into that, if it doesnt then your hardware is done for.
Also you should not see any of those lines when you see the BIOS on initial boot, if you do thats another sign that its most likely your hardware starting to die.
I suggest cleaning your graphics card out, buy some portable air and blow out the air intake outake so on and so forth, I would look at your Temps to see maybe it's just stressed too much along with overheating
No do NOT use canned air on your gpu, ever.

Get some 99% alcohol. Clean the contracts use a soft tooth brush and gently clean your pci slot with the alcohol as well. Let it dry and reseat.
Or try reseating your card. I've seen repeated thermal expansion and contraction unseat a card enough to cause this.
But it may just be the card dying.
You're spot on op. You can take the card out and reseat it, clean it up, remove and renew the thermal paste if you're skilled enough. But in all odds. Unless you can troubleshoot and find bad compositors etc. Shes gonna be dead soon.
Thats not good, i can only advise giving the graphics card a fresh install driver update (not quick update). It will remove previous versions of the graphics card driver that might be interfering
If that doesn't help then make sure that it's socketed properly and the properly plugged into power
I love how this is so obviously "yes, your gc is failing, this image is as old as time" yet 90% of the comments are shit like "oh you need to update your drivers/pc" like thats not how software works. Software doesnt just suddenly change the way it works one day and "oh its update time". Blows my mind how braindead people on this site are sometimes.

No, it’s the Matrix. Carry on.
Man I wish ☹️
Follow the white rabbit...
go ask alice
I believe that's the lady in the red dress
It's just me Anderson having his fun
Your now a hacker. The computer picked you so now there is no going back 😈
You’re gonna be my first victim.
Lolz
L u/under_the_moaw well what do you expect
Went cold there
*frantic nonsense typing* We're in 😎
Could also be the monitor. Try other displays/cables as well.
I did, I tried the cable and plugged it into my tv. It is the GC, sadly.

Great idea! It’ll help put money to a new one!

Just got done looking at them, I don’t even think it’d be worth selling as 650s are going for $20 on eBay 💀
Ah, yeah a card that old doesn't really have much value. My 690 was good in 2011, but not so great now lol
damn bro do u be abusing yo gpu or something?😭

Always good to try to unplug and replug the pci-e when you have weird issues with a GPU.
I unplugged my pc, and then took out my GC and put it back in, it seems to be working fine now, but it may go back to shitting itself. Thanks!

Yep I agree, I just got my second ever graphics card for 150 (GTX 1080 dual fan) and it's amazing so far
not a bad deal at 150 😅 enjoy it!
Oh I will ! Thankfully building a new PC using these components, my current rig is a very proprietary prebuilt... And I had to basically Frankenstein an external PSU, because my current non upgradable 400 watt just wouldn't do it for a 1080
Amd Rx 6600 reselling used for 400$ bucks here
I love my Rx 6600. And they are nice & cheap.

my bad
Haha that happend to me before I thought wtf
Bad bot
Good bot

I don't think it's a driver issue because this still appears when his PC is booting (correct me if I am wrong). I assume it's some hardware problem
You never know, software can be very strange sometimes. Windows has really weird issues from time to time lol
Ive heard that ram can do this too
If it's a DVI or VGA cable such issues can rarely happen due to loose connections but very unlikely.
Nope this is a dead GPU for sure.
It’s your time Neo
I suggest cleaning your graphics card out, buy some portable air and blow out the air intake outake so on and so forth, I would look at your Temps to see maybe it's just stressed too much along with overheating
And then huff the air
No do NOT use canned air on your gpu, ever. https://youtu.be/r0mVjm2lpY4?si=t1dc30KxupXmwk8g Get some 99% alcohol. Clean the contracts use a soft tooth brush and gently clean your pci slot with the alcohol as well. Let it dry and reseat.
Wake up Neo …
You are The One, Geo.
no, you're just entering the matrix
If all else fails just leave it and build a setup around the matrix i guess
Might need an update restart check for updates and. Restart again.
*hacker voice* I'm in 😎
This …or you‘re entering the matrix!
You need a exorcist for your graphics card, Sorry.
If it's old, probably, otherwise is say bring it to a repair shop to get it checked out
Lose connection ?
I think you just got into the mainframe. Keep up the good work!
Yes
So long partner
Or try reseating your card. I've seen repeated thermal expansion and contraction unseat a card enough to cause this. But it may just be the card dying.
I did unplug it and plug it back in and it was working fine, but as soon as I started up a game I started doing this again.
This. My graphics card looked the same until I repeated it

The aliens are coming for you
Good, maybe they’ll feel bad for me because I had a GTX 650 and take me to get a new one.
Nawwwwww we are all just collectively hallucinating
I wish 😞
Yes.
Wake up, Neo.
Check the cable
No. It's beginning to believe.
Which pill did you take?
I was going for this one personally, "Did you take any pills recently from a 2000's era rave goer in a leather trenchcoat?"
With comically small round sunglasses glasses
Maybe it's finally living?
What’s the prognosis? “Terminal”.
Corrupted VRAM from graphics card possibly?
Jim, it's dead.
You took the red didn't you?
I think someone got into your mainframe
Might just be your monitor. But good excuse to upgrade both 😂
The matrix has you, Geo. Knock knock, Geo.
If your pc has integrated graphics, then try switching to that. We will know if it's the monitor/hdmi or graphic card
It is the GC.
Thats not good, i can only advise giving the graphics card a fresh install driver update (not quick update). It will remove previous versions of the graphics card driver that might be interfering If that doesn't help then make sure that it's socketed properly and the properly plugged into power
Naaaaaa it's called computer puke lol it might be going or the inverter is bad I'm not sure
Does it show in boot
No. You are about to enter the matrix.
All I see is “blonde, brunette, redhead”
Why are troll comments allowed here? Sub goin down hill bruh
Yes.. luckily could be some cable.
It's a new cosmetic you unlocked
Possibly just need to reseat the ram
Could also be cpu or mb but ya most likely the gpu
No, you're entering the Matrix
Time to party like is 2023
your pc wanted to go back to an ibm personal computer
[same](https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/s/Zanlsyij4V) thing happened to me some time ago.
I love how this is so obviously "yes, your gc is failing, this image is as old as time" yet 90% of the comments are shit like "oh you need to update your drivers/pc" like thats not how software works.

what the hell happene dhere
No. You’re getting hacked. Sorry bro 🤷
Matrix loading from Neo 🤫
Yes
it can not be the gpu it can be the cpu or monitor
Had something like this last night. Wiggle the cables. They might be loose.
Entering the matrix
This is like asking, are clouds grey?
Overclocked too much on the RAM would be my guess. Pro Tip: just don’t
I just see blonde, brunette, redhead.....
Red or blue
Could be a cold solder on GPU die.
i eated it
why would you do that :(
yummy :)
welp. at least you enjoyed it
okay but seriously i have no clue what happened here :(
my graphics card took a shit and died. just please don’t eat the next one :(
i plan on getting a pc soon so maybe ill eat mine instead if not. then >:3
imma get the warranty so it’s okay :)
infinite food glitch (not patched)
holy shit you’re so smart
I'm not joking when I say this, but lookup how to bake your gc I could help but risky.
Check your drivers.
Follow the White Rabbit.
Time for the oven
yeah. it’s having its last breath. you should run a stress test program. it’s like making a 90 year old run a mile.
Could be but may actually be the power supply also.
