| Graphics card end-of-life signs |
The graphics card is, if not the most important, one of the most important components of any computer. In fact, this card allows playback of all media, from movies and series to games to high-end video editing software.
Since graphics cards are under a lot of stress every day, their performance deteriorates over time, as is the case with normal wear and tear, but the problems that arise due to the life of the graphics card are caused by the following reasons: Incompatibility between different components.
Problems with the graphics card itself can be seen with media in general, such as stuttering while watching content, low frame counts while gaming, and more.
Graphics card performance is poor
Over time, signs of poor graphics card performance can be recognized. In general, one of the most noticeable signs of card flow is the odd element that pops up on your screen when you're trying to view detailed content. These elements are known as digital artifacts.
Appearing as a series of western lines, an unsecured square, or even a circle, these elements will not disappear over time but will remain unchanged.
These items don't go away until you restart your PC, but if they keep showing up again. The graphics card itself is corrupt, especially after ten or fifteen minutes of gaming.
When the graphics card slows down and approaches its useful life, the computer encounters another problem. This means that the device will restart itself over and over again.
You may encounter some symptoms of this problem, such as: For example, if you are playing a high-performance game or editing 4K, the device will restart automatically. In addition, the rebooting process itself is not smooth and takes longer. In addition, in this case, the user may encounter the infamous Windows blue screen.
One of the main links between this issue and the card issue is that it occurs due to card jam.
In addition, one of the most important signs of end-of-life cards is that the temperature continues to rise. Since the GPU is constantly overheating and all attempts to lower the temperature fail, this means that the card is about to end its life.
Of course, overheating mainly affects performance. The problem may be with the fans built into the graphics card itself, and some of these fans can be repaired and replaced.
What should I do
Signs of the end of life appear in many ways, and the deterioration in the performance of all games, video editing software, and operations based on this component is evident.
If possible, we recommend that you replace the graphics card fan and try the graphics card on a different device to make sure that the graphics card is causing the problem and not other components. Note that replacing the fan is not an easy task and should be done by a dedicated repair center or the manufacturer's repair center.
Another important indicator of these problems are the symbols or sounds that the motherboard is trying to display or make. However, this indicator is unstable and is not provided by all motherboard manufacturers.
