A recurring problem in Mac computers are graphics card failures. Although it is true that other brands such as HP, Acer and Asus also fail. It is a recurrent problem due to certain features of the computers, such as their little physical space inside, or the high performance that we require from them, and also due to the manufacturing defects of some models. First of all, we must know when we performed the last maintenance on our computer: cleaning the fans, changing the thermal paste you must always use a high quality thermal paste , etc. A device with accumulation of dirt and a negligent maintenance can cause many problems. This failure is usually caused by provoking a stress in the graphics chip, also known as graphics adapter, video card or graphics accelerator card. This card is responsible for the processing of images of the device.

After like 10 minutes of usage the display will be all scramble up. I am not sure if my video card is soldered onto the main board or now. When I check on Ebay and Amazon I see that I can just buy the card itself but the card cost over dollar I am wondering if there are other lower model video card which is compatible with the iMac I have. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Mar 31, by Dan.
