I've had a HP Pavilion p6217uk running Windows 7 (64 bit) for about 2 years, however in the last 3-4 months I've been having issues with the graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce G210). It will either stop working and come up with the following error message (link to screenshot below) or it'll crash the computer completely and I'll have to force a shut down.
It tends to happen when I'm either playing a game or if I'm watching a video and using Firefox at the same time. It started off being quite an occasional problem but it's progressed to happening pretty much every day (sometimes even when I turn it on and leave it for 10 minutes). It got a little better when there was an automatic update a few months ago but it's steadily declined.
My question is firstly whether or not there's anything I can do to fix the problem (I've tried looking for any updated drivers but haven't been able to find anything) or whether I should replace the graphics card. If I do replace it, what do you think would be best to replace it with?
Thanks!|||Replace it. Whats your PSU and case? Can it fit 9-11" GPU? Is your PSU more than 500W? I'd recommend NVIDIA GTX 560 (Ti)/AMD Radeon HD 6950 if you are not that serious gamer.|||Vid card chart
