My computer AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5000+. 2,6 ghz. screen died recently and my friend said it was the grahics card.
The card (Geforce8600GS) was in the PCI Express slot. So we tested another card in the slot but nothing happened. The computer ran but no screen. We then tested a super old card "Radeon 7000" in the normal PCI slot and while it sucks theres a screen after some minutes! So we concluded the PCI Express slot is broken.
So my question to you guys and i hope I'll get some answers.
What's the best card I can buy that won't be overkill for my computer for a PCI slot? It should be optimized for games since that's the most advanced thing the computer does besides Word and that stuff.
BTW I hope it's a PCI slot I have there's three of them and thery're white a long slot and a shorter one sorta.
Thanks, Sue
