Hi
I recently added an nvidia geforce 1050 to to an old inspiron 3847. I am now getting intermittent blackouts on my tv from the pc. For between 1 and 2 seconds. It's infuriating, there is no pattern and can happen at any time. The graphics card is the single fan version and it draws all power via the pcie slot, there are no slots to power it from a new power supply.
Everything continues to run its just the display blacks out periodically. Please someone help. I've updated the Dell drivers and nvidia drivers.
If it is a power supply issue and i changed the psu to 500w would the cup be able to draw the required amount of power via the motherboard?
Or should I throw in the towel now and stop wasting my money on the old Dell? I was going to change the cpu until this started happening.
I hate problems like this so please help asap.
Thanks
