You can use alcohol just don't spill the bottle on the card. Make sure you wet your cloth to wipe away the old compound and you can get started with the next coating of new stuff when that one is clean.

The RAM part of the card doesn't matter. If your power supply can support the card you are looking at getting as a just in case type then by all means go get it.

Well ain't that a $^&(#...guess your power supply started going out and took the video with it. IF you have a different power supply trying plugging that in and do not plug in the video card. You should get power then; SHOULD that is and if you do then see if you have enough go juice in the psu to make the video card work. IF not then you might have to buy one and test it that way as well.

Your PSU probably has a loose component and tapping it reconnected it and now when your displaycard wants to draw more current when going to 3D mode the PSU fails again. My guess.

deleted the nvidia files and downloaded the drivers,, went to reinstall them from desktop and it tells me it can't find compatible graphics hardware.
