My PC started glitching out like this and I don’t know how to find the cause.

Columns of red lines dominate the screen, and certain characters aren’t being displayed during startup. This happens with every operating system and every monitor. I can only get into the OS in recovery mode.

Did my CPU get fried? My motherboard? GPU? Corrupted BIOS? How can I find out?

      Yes, if you put it to a low temp but high enough to liquify the solder joints you can ‘reball’ the connectors and whatnot.

      It works, but it can easily fuk shit up bad.

      This isn’t a fix persay, more of a bandaid to hopefully fix while you can save/buy new card

        Had to do this numerous times with my old ATI HD 3870
