For computers that run the newest games, or complex technical applications, a good graphics card makes a huge difference. The modern graphics card is more powerful than ever. Higher end cards often include multiple cooling fans, and some vendors sell their cards with liquid cooling built-in. When one of these graphics cards fails, it’s a punch to the wallet and the gut. The usual response for some people is to outright replace a faulty card. However, the issue may not actually warrant throwing hundreds of dollars at a new GPU. The problem may be something very minor, or it could be a symptom of something worse. For technical support or graphics card repair and replacement in Fair Oaks, Tech 2U has got you covered!

There are obvious signs of possible graphics card failure. Graphical corruption while under load is a common symptom, though bad drivers have also produced similar errors. However that could also be a sign of overheating. It’s possible there isn’t adequate cooling—a fan on the card itself could have failed, or the whole computer case doesn’t have enough air flow or liquid cooling. There is also the dreaded possibility of other parts of your computer failing. The CPU or motherboard, even a bad power supply can affect your graphics card.

Trying to test for all of possibilities can be difficult if you’re new to troubleshooting a computer. It’s easier to miss the actual problem than you might think!
