Troubleshooting Graphics Card problems

  1. Make sure the drivers of the graphics card and monitor are all up to date.
  2. Graphics cards need to be properly seated in their PCI slots in order to work efficiently. Ensure that the video cable is fine and plugged in properly.
  3. Video display problems could be a monitor-related issue instead of the graphics card.
4. Check the ‘Device Status’ of your graphic card: Go to Device Manager> Display adapters.

5. Graphics card problems can be related to hardware or software.

6. High temperature can occur when the computer is stored in a poorly ventilated area or the ventilation outlets have been blocked. Use troubleshooting tools: GPU-Z, Heaven Benchmark tool,

7. Check Event viewer for any errors.
