Title: Pc help please
Post by: toddswain on September 15, 2012, 09:19:14 PM
Posting from phone so excuse any typos from iPhone.

Been using my pc for about 4 year, have two monitors connected, tonight the pc just switched off, now the screens are really distorted and the pc won't even get to startup. It's not a fault with the monitors because I've unplugged and tried on their own and they are both distorted.

Presume this is a problem with the gfx card ? Anyway I can bypass something in the bios cos won't have chance to get new card for a week or so.

Would post some screen pics but not sure how to upload pics from phone.


Thanks in advance

Okay, im now on mypc, did some reading on my phone, took out the graphics card and now my pc is working on the internal one, built into the motherboard or something. Obv this means i can only use one monitor, anybody got any recommendations for the cheapest graphics card available, all i use my pc for is poker, so doesnt have to be anything special, just need to be able to use two monitors and it to cope with 2/3 poker sites. Thanks

You could probably pick a cheap one up from Amazon easily enough, £30-£50 would do it. If you want more than poker, I'd go higer up but you don't need anything special to play poker on.
