    Is my graphics card broken?

    UPDATE: Please see here.

    I have a Sapphire HD 4830.

    When I boot into XP all is initially fine and I am able to see the desktop.

    However, when I click on the start bar and navigate a few steps, I receive an immediate white screen of death and a total irrecoverable lock-up.

    I am confused about what this could mean and I would be grateful for any suggestions on the best course of action to test and repair the problem.

    Does this sort of issue suggest that the graphics card is irretrievably broken?

    Shift + C key is not typing C in upper case

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as you are unable to use Shift + C key, to type C letter in upper case.
    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.



    • Does this issue occurs on using both the shift keys?
    • Did you check if this issue occurs using and external keyboard? To eliminate hardware issue.
    • Are you aware of any changed on the PC, prior to this issue?


    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check if that helps.

    1. Press Windows + I to launch Windows
      Settings
    2. Click on Updates & Security and select
      Troubleshooter from the left pane
    3. Select Keyboard and click on
      Run the troubleshooter

    4. Follow the onscreen instruction and later restart the PC to check


    Also, you may try running the keyboard diagnostics tool from Dell website for the model you are using:
    Custom Component Test (go to Custom Component Test and choose
    "Select individual components" and choose Keyboard to run the diagnostics)



    We await your response.
