Hi guys
Okay so today i turned on my computer to the alarming surprise of a pixilated screen and a message saying no hardware detected. It apear my viedo card has completely gone bust. To be fair there were warning signs ever since i purchased it, the occasional crash, freezes but i put those down to the possibility of the drivers.
well i guess i was wrong. so my question is based on my computer specs (below), what graphics card do u guys recommend. I have a three year warranty but would i have needed to report this problem a while a go or does that not matter?
