EASY Fix Your Graphics Card! (Loud fan, black screen, crashing, artifacts)

PSA: Graphics card troubleshooting is a complicated process. These 3 fixes for 3 common hardware problems are what has worked for me MANY times. There are many other possible problems related to drivers, firmware, and software, which this video doesn’t address. This is mostly about the common user fixable hardware issues that can be done relatively easily at home. If you’re unsure of why your card is having issue, have it serviced by a professional.

Today we’re going to be talking about broken graphics cards and how to fix them. There are lots of ways a graphics card can break.

PROBLEM 1
The fans break, or get way too loud. Like they start sounding like the clanky rusty old air conditioner in my mom’s bedroom window, but it’s coming from your computer.

PROBLEM 2
The card seems to work fine, but it crashes whenever it is under load, like while you’re playing a game.

PROBLEM 3
Artifacts. The video card appears to be working, but it’s outputting a signal that’s all garbled and ugly

If these are happening to you, DON’T THROW OUT THAT GPU! You can FIX IT believe it or not. And I”ll show you how to deal with each of these problems. Right. Now.
