So just a basic rundown to get an idea of where to start. I have an old computer (2005 era) it's served me well and in that time frame bought RAM, a new PSU and I once had a nice PCI-E video card from 2008.
So basically put, after 2 years of no problems, it fried my video card. I was upset, but I had an old back up one available (also a PCI-E) so I re-installed that, it has just recently fried that too. Now I have no video cards capable of playing ANY sort of games, this onboard video barely allows me to scroll through the internet.
My question is, I am going to buy a filler card (60 bucks or so) just so I can play WoW, but I am afraid that it will just burn this out too so how can I troubleshoot my system to find out what the cause is whether it's a faulty PSU or a faulty PCI-E slot. My PSU is a 500W supply if that is needed for any other info.
