  1. Locating Slot Position of Bad Video Card


    In the distant past, I had two video cards installed in Windows 10, and was able to switch to the second one when the first card started dropping pixels. This was so long ago I've forgotten how to do it.Can someone please give me some guidance on the click path required to access video cards and switch between them?Thanks.

    Replacing bad Radeon Video Card

    Hi,

    In regards of your response, You should go ahead and try another source for your replacement card.

    Depending on your use, I would suggest to go with NVidia GPUs.

    And also Swapping video cards should be a nearly painless process...

    The way your are speaking, your system is still under warranty ? Is it ?

    Replacing bad Radeon Video Card

    Yes, everything that was connected to the original card was reconnected to the replacement card.

    I tried bobkn's suggestion and uninstalled the drivers and tried reinstalling the replacement card (I used the motherboard's graphics connection so I could have a display) and the replacement card is not even recognized by the PC as being installed in Windows Device Manager and if I try and run Radeon's driver installer it says there is no Radeon Video Card installed in the PC. So reinstalled the original card and it is immediately recognized by Windows and works fine other than it's intermittent problem (that can take days to reappear).

    For whatever reason Dell's tech support is being a major pain in the neck to get them to ship another card. I think I have purchased the last Dell product if they think I'm going to deal with bad customer service and defective replacement parts (I have 4 Dell PCs and 3 of their Monitors and have been using Dell PCs for over 10 years).
