Had my Dell Precision T1650 Hackintosh up and running after not using it for months. When I came in today, the screens had frozen. No response. So I turned off the computer and restarted. Black screens. I discovered the graphics card was very loose in the socket (no screws) and I accidentally managed to loosen it even more while the computer was on. Turned off the computer and made sure the card was well seated in the slot. But now my screens just report “no input”. The fan on the card turns on.
Questions: Is it probably the card that has died or the slot on the motherboard?
If it is the card, what card could I use instead that is cheap and works right away? The card I have now is GeForce GTX 650Ti 1024M
Can I use Radeon HD 5750? (Found one cheap)
