    Through the years I have tried Driver Programs and all they did was cause problems and took forever to hunt them
    down and remove all the foot prints.

    With that birds nest of wires and harness how would one even know if the video card was even plugged in properly and the
    proper harness plugged into the proper places?
    Their is enough crud in that computer to start a potato patch.

    So my suggestions are simple starting with some basics.

    1. Clean the filth out of the computer.
    2. Clean up that birds nest of wiring and then verify everything is plugged in properly. It's called cable management.
    3. Verify that the proper drivers are installed from the manufacture of the video card.
    4. Do as Golden suggested; run sfc /scannow and see if Windows 7 System is having any problems.
    -----------
    When those things are done we need to know the results. Then we can give more guidance.
    Their may or may not be more problems.
    If the power supply fan and innards have the crud I think it has, its probable well done toast.
    DO NOT take the power supply apart to clean.
    4. *Do as BTA suggested.

    Just for the record... are you able to test that VGA in another cappable PC? Just to know if it is not dead...

    How will a ckdsk fix a graphics card issue?
    Hmm just thought it a bit logical to do one if the SFC is going to be done anyway I will keep out of this one.

    Well presumably it is the power cables you are seeing those are the only ones that are plugged into the graphics card inside the case and it seems Acer has done some cable management.
    But yes please a picture might come in handy.

    Or if this is becoming too technical for you then you can bring it to the shop where you bought the computer and get help there, but that means that you need to have the receipt and warranty under control.
    I turned the pc on while having the upper metal plate off, and the AMD graphics card's fan is running fine, as well as the other fans inside the pc, i spotted nothing unusual.

    PS: I do remove the dust very carefully once in a while.

    It's an old desktop from 2012 from an official electronics's store, i don't think they will.
    Uhm, alright well sorry for not replying sooner I'm just baffled as what the issue might be.

    Not that this has anything to do with this specific error but could you perform this:
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Just to make sure that we aren't looking at this issue in the wrong way.

    Just did as you recommended and it found no issues, i even ran it twice just to be sure.

    To be honest i have not touched the inside much and i have done some dust cleaning on it very carefully before.

    i have checked that everything is properly connected and (nearly) dust free twice since this problem started.

    Yep well I would even throw in Disk Check < if necessary include the /f and /r in the command line as per Option2

    But see my pics for testing the volts - the important thing is you keep yourself grounded by touching the case a few times and NOT touching the PSU
    Just did a disk check but nothing new.

    Mate if you can test that PSU because if the machine is that old then it is indeed a likely cause of problems
    Just to remind you
    Using HW Info
    PART A:
    You can test the volts on the PSU with HW Info HWiNFO, HWiNFO32/64 - Download < download the right bit version and close the right hand window select Sensors and scroll down to the power section where you will see what the volts are doing see my pic. In my pic the section (Nuvoton) with VBATT is a dead give away you are in the section for the rail voltages. There are other section titles and one that pops up often is ITE
    Now the voltage on the different rails have to be within 5% =+/- of what is required or the machine will not work properly if at all.
    ATX Minimum Specs:

    3.3v Rail (ORANGE) (Min: 3.14v Max: 3.47v)

    5v Rail (RED) (Min: 4.75v Max: 5.25v)

    12v Rail (YELLOW) (Min: 11.4v Max: 12.6v)

    (GREY CABLE PIN 8 - 5v = Power Good signal)

    0v “Rail” (ALL BLACK cables, case, and board fixing screws)
    See this for the rail voltage info
    Power Supply 101: A Reference Of Specifications - Power Supplies (Section 2.)
    The original right hand window shows the machine running and is handy for that but for looking at the components in some detail close it and use the main left hand side panel
    FOR OTHER COMPONENTS
    PART B:
    Open each small square with + in it on the section the components are in and then click on the individual component/s (it will highlight in blue) - in the right hand side will appear all sorts of details including brands speeds and other essential info that particular device. See pic for example.

    Now all I want to see is that section as in the pic of the voltage rails - if you have problems posting a pic just type what the voltages are or ask

    As i stated previously this program is a bit too complicated for me and the screenshots only add's to the confusion since i am looking at different words and numbers (not the percents)

    But i tried one more time and here is the results.

    PS: I am not 100% sure what you want to see so i took screenshots of it all.
