* your video or power cables are not connected properly. It could have reached the end of it's lifetime * The video card may be bad.
The cheapest video card that i could find is the GeForce 310M graphics card
well it means your video card won't work with the sims 3, the only solution is to get a new video card that will support Shader Model 2.
There are multiple reasons why a credit card could be declined. The most common reason is that there were insufficient funds available on the card. Other reasons could be that the store doesn't accept that card, or that there is an alert placed on the card for that type of store.
there could be several different reasons, you might not have enough RAM or your video card isn't good enough. But it could always be something else.
Simply connect the cord from your monitor to the output of the video card, if you see something then it worked!
A hard drive does not have a compatible video card. They don't interact.
Trust me. Pick one that has been out on the market for 18 months. You will get the best price, and much better software drivers than the people who insist on buying a $500 video card that becomes a $150 video card in 18 months.
Your video may not be correct when the boot completes. You also could permanently damage the video card ... which would render it useless.
yes
There are 2 types of video cards, actively cooled and passively cooled. Actively means there is a fan mounted on the cooling block which is mounted on the card. Passively means there is no fan and just a cooling block mounted on the video card. Your card could have a passive cooling solution.
Three the most common reasons are - overheating - weak or faulty PSU - faulty drivers
