• Is my GPU Fried?
    11 replies, posted
In the past twenty minutes i've had three Display Driver errors/crashes, i've not turned my PC off for a while and my temp's 62 degrees. Is this a sign my Video card's on the way out or do i just need to turn it off for a while?
Have you tried updating the drivers? 62 is pretty average for a GPU I believe
It's an 8400, FYI. also no i haven't updated drivers. I'll try that if i get one more display driver error.. [editline]03:53PM[/editline] One crash was on GMod. the other two were while watching youtube videos.. [editline]04:03PM[/editline] oh god i just got a bsod while trying to run youtube. is it fucked? [editline]04:17PM[/editline] Crap i just uninstalled my old drivers to install the new ones and they're saying they can't find compatible drivers for my hardware :wtc:

Yeah i tried them. THey didn't work. They said "the driver could not be installed, which may cause some compatibility issues. the last driver that worked will now be restored" [editline]05:12PM[/editline] I keep getting this error: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/ffs.jpg[/img]

I am too interested to know why he was looking at Bengay on scrotum.
It was a thread my friend linked me. Also. switched to Onboard graphics. the 8400 is fucking fried. the thermal paste is just.. gone.
Looks like it's time to get a new GPU. If you have the money get a better one. You can get a 9800 for about $80-$100 these days.
