Windows 10: My graphics card is acting strangely

I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB plugged into a pretty old Inspiron 660, but it's acting strangely.

whenever I start my computer if I have my monitors plugged into my graphics card the computer won't boot and instead just angerly beeps at me.

also, my main monitor, which is plugged in via HDMI, keeps going black all the time and sometimes textures have som slight "red noise" on them. like the typical black and white noise, you'd see on old TVs but very small.

I don't know what is...

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
