Someone had me look at their system today becuase the screen was getting blocks and lines on it after using the computer for a few minutes. I found out that the video card was the cuase of this since I tried it in another system and it did the same thing on that system also.
She will need a new video card to replace the ATI Radeon 7200 64mb video card that is obviously toasted.
I'm just wondering what card she should buy to replace that card? Games like GTA Vice City, True Crime: Streets of LA, Call of duty, ect were on this system so obviously the old card must have atleast been able to run these games at low settings.
System specs are: Compaq Presario 7151 with a P4 1.4GHz CPU, 256 mb PC800 Ram, 4x AGP port.
I'm guessing an ATI Radeon 9000, or a GeForce4 440mx card would be a cheap and equvilent card to replace it with, or a Geforce FX 5200 card should do a little better don't you think? I think anything more than that would be overkill in that system.
Any input would be helpfull and keep in mind this person probably doesnt want to spend much over $50 to fix this rig and doesn't have the money for a new one.
