Post full system config. Disassemble everything and start just with mobo, proccy, keyboard mouse and smps

Try it on another pc to cross check.
Also try the other pciex slot.
Which model gpu and how old? Was iy overclocked ever?

 

[girish925]

9400 gt 1gb . Not overclocked

Seems your card is dead. But before arriving at any conclusion, check it on 2nd pciex slot on your mobo and also on your friends pc.

If you are open to used card, you could save a lot instead of forking 3k for this.

When looking at GT 610 for approx 3k, with couple of hundreds more you could snag a GT620.

Going by GPU hierarchy at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html HD5450 looks exact replacement. You can even get away with GT210 for about couple of grands.

Don't even bother with a GT210. I am stuck with it till I upgrade and had to buy it when my UPS blew my old 9600 GT and PSU (alongwith other components). I am sure the onboard graphics of the replacement board is more powerful than GT210. Won't be surprised if my good old 5200FX was faster than this

I second the opinion of getting an used card to save money from a reliable seller. Better cards will cost less than what these at a lesser price.
