    PC got damaged during move

    Hey All-
    Built a pc around december of last year, and it got damaged while i moved across the country. I opened it up and the graphics card was dislodged, but intact, and the port that the graphics card was in was very slightly bent so I moved it to a different port. The computer boots fine, but when i try to run a game like overwatch or hyper light drifter, the game experiences graphical glitches, then crashes, then my computer crashes. I’m including a link to a video showing exactly what happens. I think this is a problem with my graphics card, and hopefully not with the motherboard. Any feedback would be great, thanks!!
    Link to video:

    Hello
    It is a good possibility that the circuit board of the graphics card was cracked.

    Hopefully some more of our members will chime in soon.

      Why don’t you try taking the video card out and use on-board video to see how well the computer behaves?
