So a while back i got the apparently widespread nvidia nf4 error. If i installed the drivers for my 7800GTX my computer would get to the windows loading screen and not start up (drivers worked fine before) For my computer to work again i would have to boot into safe mode and delete the drivers. I managed to find an old driver for my card which worked with my computer but when the driver was installed my desktop became extremely enlarged and saturation was turned up to the max and i coulnt edit it making the computer interface unusuable. So since then i have just not bothered and have used my computer without any drivers for my graphics card. Due to what i think is the graphic card defect images on my comp are not crystal clear. Here is an example shown of part of my desktop.
As you can see theres loads of pixelated squares that shouldnt be there (and no i dont have a mac, just a mac desktop pic)
When i boot up my comp all the words are scrambled and random, scrambled text is there that shouldnt be and the picture that comes up of my mobo 'lanparty4' the picture is all distorted too. Windows does not detect my 7800gtx but everest software does which is confusing me. And ovbiously i cannot play games with games saying a graphics devide cannot be found.
So basically just double checking that my graphic card is completely screwed before i attempt to remove it and that just buying a new graphics card would fix the problem?
Thanks. __________________
