Look, I’m not clueless here... I know my way around a PC and I have my doubts about the GPU too, but I was really hoping for a win here... I don't have integrated graphics, and my budget is capped at $233—which, honestly, served me just fine until now. My current setup is an Intel Athlon running at 3.00 GHz paired with 4 GB of GDDR3 RAM.

What can you do... I'll sell off some gear to scrape the cash together. The card in question is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX series... It’s used, so it shouldn't break the bank, but I can't exactly walk into a store and grab a new one right now.

Because it’s all just vanity...The rig belongs to my brother...And a card like that is $167 total overkill
Hey everyone... I’ve got a PC that’s about four years old now—I actually did a clean install of Windows 8.1 back in November—but after leaving it sitting idle for a week, things have gone sideways. Now, when I boot it up and try to run something like FIFA 15, the screen turns into this bizarre, garish mess of colors after just a few minutes. It’s even happening when I hover over icons. I originally jumped to 8.1 because the previous setup kept hitting a black screen right after the Windows logo and loading sequence—usually forcing a hard reset. I tried moving up to Windows 10, but the moment I attempt to install the graphics drivers, it hits that same black screen loop. I even rolled back to Windows 7, but that just gave me the same distorted color issues. I’m honestly at a loss here.
