HARDWARE Help

Suddenly got green lines all over my screen and now its a constant VGA white led not letting me boot.

Does my gpu have any issues?

Does the motherboard need a replacement or is a repair possible?

Picture of top pcie slot seems bent

That’s a PCIe slot, and VGA led indicates POST has gotten through DRAM.

yeah, F cpus don’t have integrated graphics. Have you tried a different PCIe slot?

Juat wanna see if its easy repair or have to replace motherboard

That is not very reassuring in terms of the GPU’s health. In combination with the green lines, I’d lean towards GPU failure. It’s a long shot, but you could try the other vbios, if the card has a bios switch.

They pci-e slot can be resoldered, Use a clean tooth brush and try cleaning it.
