hi

i'm having trouble trying to diagnose a videocard
the gpu in qusetion is a XFX GeForce 8400gs 512MB DDR2
when I test it in windows 7 and older, windows starts but fails to initialize the device crashing in the windows logo at boot
in windows 8 and 10, windows try to initialize the card but fails and ends on bsod and then restart.
in lubuntu it crashes when lubuntu is loading (blue screen with lubuntu logo and five dots)
the card show a strange pattern on screen, no matter what is on the screen, and the pattern vary depending on resolution, also in some computers (newer than 2010 with uefi or bios) the computer doesn't post or beeps complaining about not having a video card

i've tried to flash the bios but nvflash doesn't detect the card

later I will upload some pictures

that sounds bad, I thought I could fix this one. thankfully the seller refund me. now I need to find some card that works, it's cheap, is relatively new and the seller lives near me
