Upgrade or build a new PC?

[TwitchFast]

huh so my graphics card in there has fucked up or something? cause I know it had one lol -.-

 

do i have to open it up to check my power supply?

Yeah you don't actually have a graphics card lol, there's only your onboard video which is built into your CPU.

You will have to take the side-panel off your case, but that's easy, you don't need to turn off or anything.

o_o Could you get a picture, 'cause that sounds like it may be a bottom-end one.

I cant tell if sarcastic or not cause of that added "lel", like i said my computer knowledge is limited

not sarcastic at all, good enough processor

If you do decide to build your own, i'd keep your cpu as its pretty good.

An Alienware/Mac is better

well its a 3 year old computer, so surprised not everything needs to be replaced . But i opened it up and checked and confirmed i do have a radeon hd 6780 graphics card, just no clue as to why its not working anymore. I guess my best bet is just take it to a store tomorrow.

 

Also i tried to take some pics, but everything i tried the pics ended up being too large to be uploaded here lol -.-

Try upload to Imgur then post the link to the image

That's rather strange though, have you plugged in your monitor cable (DVI/VGA/HDMI) to your GPU, not the motherboard?

I'm willing to bet that's a poorly built shop system. I was correct, that PSU is a low end one that can harm your system.

On the plus side, I know why your graphics card isn't "working" lol, you didn't plug the display cable into it.

In this picture, I've highlighted your graphics card ports, you should find a port similar on the back of your motherboard, unplug it from your motherboard and plug it into your graphics card.

It's unfortunate, but a lot of local shops will contain staff who simply don't know what they're doing.
