How can Check Graphic card Problem

To check for graphics card (GPU) problems, you can follow these steps:

---

🔍 1. Visual Inspection (Hardware Check)

• Turn off the computer and unplug it.
• Open the cabinet and:
  • Check if the GPU fan is spinning.
  • Ensure it’s seated properly in the PCIe slot.
  • Check for any burn marks, dust, or loose cables.

---

🧪 2. Use Built-In Tools (Windows)

🔸 Device Manager

• Press Windows + X → Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display adapters.
• If you see:
  • 🔴 A red or yellow mark – there's a problem.
  • ❌ “Error Code 43” – driver or hardware failure.

🧰 3. Use GPU Monitoring Software

• Use any of these tools:
  • GPU-Z (lightweight monitoring)
  • MSI Afterburner (load, temp, fan speed)
  • HWMonitor (check temperatures)
  • Speccy (basic GPU info)

Look for:

• Unusual temperatures (above 85°C constantly = bad)
• Fluctuating GPU load without any app running
• No GPU listed – might be a hardware issue

---

🧪 4. Run a Stress Test

Use tools like:

• FurMark
• Heaven Benchmark (Unigine)
• 3DMark

🔍 Observe for:

• Artifacts (weird colors, shapes)
• System crashing or freezing
• Sudden shutdowns = overheating or power issues

---

🔁 5. Try Driver Reinstallation

• Uninstall old drivers: DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)
• Download latest drivers from:
  • NVIDIA: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
  • AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support

---

🧪 6. Test with Another System (if possible)

• Install the GPU in another PC to check if it behaves the same.
• Or use another GPU in your system to isolate the issue.

🚨 Common GPU Problem Signs

Symptom	Possible Cause
No display	GPU not seated, dead card, power issue
Artifacts on screen	Overheating, VRAM damage
System crash under load	Overheating, driver issue, PSU not enough
Fan not spinning	Faulty fan, dust blockage
Games lagging suddenly	Throttling, driver or VRAM issue
