Component manufacturers strive to make their devices as reliable as possible, but, unfortunately, video cards, as well as other PC components, sometimes may not work correctly or at all.
The video adapter is one of the most complex parts of a computer, therefore, it must be treated with care. Problems with the operation of the video card can be caused by a variety of factors.
Overclocking the graphics card
Some users who are keen on the desire to bring their computer to the maximum level of performance overclock the video adapter. In the increased power mode, as you might guess, the video card runs out of steam, which means that it will fail much faster. Of course, not all PC owners can overclock the video card, but many face video card problems.
Chip overheating
One of the most popular reasons for a video card breakdown is overheating of the chip built into it. Usually, overheating occurs due to exhausting computer work and poor cooling of the video card itself. In addition, the problem can be caused by contamination of the cooling system of the video card, and therefore it simply does not cope with its task and the chip "burns out".
Various external factors can cause problems with the video card, for example, such as: a sharp drop in temperature or high humidity. Each device, including a video card, has special requirements for operating conditions that must be observed. Incorrect BIOS firmware can also affect the device's performance.
Unofficial drivers
It is worth noting that among the most popular causes of various problems related to the video card is the forced installation of uncertified drivers (that is, unofficial drivers). In order to avoid various breakdowns of the video adapter, you always need to install drivers from the website of the video card manufacturers. On other sites, this can also be done, only you need to be careful so that you do not download and install any malicious software along with the driver. By the way, it can also be the culprit in the appearance of malfunctions in the video card.
Burnt food
There is another fairly common cause of video card troubles. It lies in the fact that the video adapter itself cannot be determined (or it is determined, but there is no image). In this case, the system itself will be loaded. A situation in which everything is exactly the opposite is when, with a connected video adapter, the system does not respond to user actions (that is, the computer does not turn on). In both of these cases, the cause of the problem lies in the fact that on the adapter itself, special connectors - feeds - can be burned. If you replace them, then the problem will be solved.
