Sound stutter overheat or not

tbh I was a bit liberal with the paste. I have checked every obvious thing i can see. The card has got power because the fan on it spins. I think the only way I can tell is to find an old card and stick that in.

I'm just wandering if there is any further troubleshooting, besides the obvious, for this kind of issue??

Thanks

 

If the motherboard is causing the problems with the graphics card then is there anything I can do or do I just have to wait for my next machine?

Cheers

 

The fan on a graphics card is powered by the slot, not by the power connector, so still check that.
As for what else to check though, I'm not sure...

 

Do you mean the 4 wire connecter that slots near the card and processor?
I tried reseating it and wiggling it about.

 

No, some graphics cards have a 6-pin (PCI express) or 4-pin (AGP) power connector on the card itself.

 

No, I've only ever slotted it in and that's what I did today with my work computer.

Guess I can olnly find out by trying another card...

Cheers

 

Fair enough, it obviously isn't a card that requires one.
