Was watching movie on fullscreen when the screen flicker and a notification popup saying

"Display Driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 332.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

the movie was still playing fine afterwards but this happen more and more often.
when i open dota2, the flickering became very bad and the comp hanged.

So i proceed to force restart and my screen is now like this

sian. warranty over. my motherboard no gpu.

any graphics card to recommend?

  • Do you play games? If so, what games do you play and at what quality (Low / Medium / High / Very High / Ultra)?
  • Do you use multi-monitors?
  • What ports (VGA / DVI / DisplayPort / HDMI) do they use?
  • What's your required / preferred display resolution?

Think people can advise you better with these info available.

i only play dota 2 on max settings currently
connected to a lcd tv via HDMI
resolution wise hoping to get sth which supports 1440p with 120hz
budget wise as low as possible as maybe getting a new rig soon.
or get sth which can transfer to new rig?
currently using i5-2400 + biostar tp67b+

was wondering is it because of overheating because my card waas running at 75-80deg when playing dota2.

thanks in advance

If you really want to repair, can DIY. Based on your picture, I suspect it's some dry join issue. Go youtube and search for "how to bake graphic card." Must take out the heatsink and fan first. Use convection oven and NOT microwave oven. When putting back the heatsink, must apply thermal paste first. If you don't oven and heatpaste, then buy a new card, because it's an easier option.

i think this is worth a try since out of warranty anyway. i got those toaster oven can use? got red lights that type.

Since no budget mentioned, either a gtx780 ti or r9 290 should be good
