My Graphics Card Has Plummeted in Quality

Sorry, I don't really know where to post this other than here. What feels like an overnight thing, 2 weeks ago my graphics card stopped performing well. It's a Gigabyte Radeon TX RX 560, and was working really well up until now.

Since it's stopped performing well, Photoshop can't use lighting effects as it cannot find sufficient GPU, Premiere Pro's playback is off, even when rendered, and games like Far Cry 3 and Resident Evil 7 are 15-20FPS at their lowest settings, especially the former.

Also, another important thing I just remembered is that I can't play HDMI through the video card - only VGA through the motherboard now, so maybe that helps decide what's wrong.

I had a friend who helped me build the PC come by and see if he could do anything, but after disconnecting it, cleaning it up and looking for drivers to update/reinstall it, nothing changed. My girlfriend accidentally tripped over and knocked the PC over a few weeks ago, so I believe that may have been the likely cause, but that was a week before a nosedive in performance.

If anyone has any troubleshooting it'd be much appreciated, as I don't know if it's the card itself, or maybe I knocked the motherboard and something that is in relation to the graphics card. I reckon that if it's unfixable I'll likely invest in the same or a new graphics card, but idk, I'll see what happens.

If anyone needs more details I can try to give them.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
