Common Graphics Card Issues

Before purchasing graphics cards, identify these common GPU problems:

  • No Display Output: Monitor shows no signal or black screen when powered on.
  • Performance Lag: Games or applications stutter, drop frames, or run at low FPS.
  • Overheating: GPU runs hot, causing system crashes or loud fan noise.
  • Driver Issues: Glitches, crashes, or artifacts due to outdated or corrupt drivers.
  • Compatibility Problems: Graphics card not recognized or incompatible with motherboard or PSU.

Troubleshooting Graphics Card Issues

Try these DIY steps before seeking graphics cards support:

  • Check Connections:
    Ensure the graphics card is securely seated in the PCIe slot and power cables (e.g., 8-pin, 16-pin PCIe 5.0) are properly connected.
    Test with a different display cable (HDMI, DisplayPort) or monitor.
  • Clean the GPU:
    Use compressed air to remove dust from the GPU’s fans and heatsink to prevent overheating.
  • Update Drivers:
    Download the latest drivers from NVIDIA (GeForce Experience) or AMD (Adrenalin Software) to ensure optimal performance.
  • Verify Power Supply:
    Confirm your PSU meets the GPU’s wattage requirements (e.g., 650W for RTX 4070, 1000W for RTX 5090) using a wattage calculator.
  • Check Compatibility:
    Ensure your motherboard supports the GPU’s PCIe version (e.g., PCIe 4.0, 5.0) and BIOS is updated.

If issues persist, book professional GPU diagnostics on our computer repair page or browse new graphics cards on our graphics cards page.
