My pc is acting up. It seems like both my graphics card and my hard drive are faulty.
I need to replace them both, but i can only afford to replace them one at a time.
What graphics card shall i get and what hdd shall i get?
Im currently on a Radeon 5770 1GB. If your motherboard has indicator LEDs showing a fault on a specific component, be sure to check them.
I dont think it has them. I know the graphics is faulty because occasionally the image will hang and when it comes back to normal i get an error message saying "amd display driver has stopped working and recovered". While playing games the pc also just freezes.
Sometimes i get blue screens when gaming. Sometimes when i turn the pc on, power is supplied to the monitor, keyboard, mouse but no image is displayed and the keyboard mouse become unresponsive.
My pc had overheating problems due to a faulty PSU earlier (got sold a dud by local computer shop). I invested in a quality psu after that but i guess its already done its damage.
So im looking for a decent graphics card, i dont know geforce cards well, but im looking at a radeon 7850 and i dont know its geforce equivelant.
I can probably run it off my corsair ax750w psu
