Hey everyone, I'm having some serious issues with my graphics cards, and I could really use your insights. Here are my specs: Intel i5-2400 3.1GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, ECS H61H2-M2 motherboard, GT 730 with 2GB VRAM, and a hefty 800W INPLAY GP250L PSU. My monitor resolution is pretty low at 1366x720.
Here's the problem: when I try to play games like Roblox or Hollow Knight: Silksong, the graphics start glitching out, and sometimes the game crashes completely or even takes my whole PC down with it. I keep getting a BSOD error that says "VIDEO SCHEDULER INTERNAL ERROR." I've been trying to fix this by using the Win + Ctrl + Shift + B reset combo, but it doesn't help at all. I also attempted to update my drivers (currently on version 391.35) but couldn't manage to install the latest version that's supposed to work with the GT 730. Interestingly, I bought an AMD Radeon RX560, which according to my research, should be compatible with my setup, but when I tried to install it, my PC just got stuck on the boot screen.
To sum it up, the GT 730 is causing glitches and crashes with a persistent BSOD error. I'm stuck on older drivers, and the new RX 560 isn't booting my system. Also, I'm using Windows 11 23H2 in an unsupported configuration, even though these problems existed before I upgraded. Any thoughts or suggestions? I've also attached some dump files for the crashes: [Dump Files for the BSOD Crash logs](https://files.catbox.moe/mje6sg.rar)

The issue with the GT 730 might stem from it being a rebranded card from older generations. Nvidia's drivers sometimes stop supporting these older models, so it's crucial to identify which exact version of the GT 730 you have. You can use GPU-Z to find out more about the model and then search for the latest compatible driver. For the RX 560, it might help to look for a manual or check if there’s an option on the card itself to toggle settings, like a UEFI/Legacy switch that could be affecting the boot process.
I get why you're frustrated with your GPU troubles. The GT 730 is ancient in GPU years, and it can struggle with newer titles, especially with its age. If you had some decent performance with Minecraft, though, that’s something! But honestly, the RX 560 should be a solid upgrade; that’s odd it's not booting your PC. Before you dive deeper into BIOS settings, make sure that card is fully seated in the PCIe slot and ensure all power connectors are properly attached. Also, check if it needs any BIOS adjustments or updates to support newer GPUs.
Thanks! I’ll double-check the connections and maybe look into a BIOS update for compatibility.
I found out my GT 730 might be a fake, so that could explain some issues! I haven’t seen any switches on the RX 560, but I’ll keep an eye out.
