eBay is a great way to get older computer equipment without overpaying.
Thanks, it was a the graphics card as I bought a MSI 1GB geeforce gt 710 for £22 off Amazon but now I get this annoying blip of a black screen and then the "WDDM Timeout Detection and Recovery".
I looked around the internet for a solution which led me to upgrading the GPU drivers and increasing processing time from 2 to 4 then 6 and then 8 seconds but the problem still occurs.
I can play now as the computer works but this randomly happening is so annoying!
Should I just send the GPU back and buy a different cheep one as this never happened once in 9 years with the old GPU. I was thinking of buying
