Not sure about vertical lines, but 'scrambled BIOS text' typically indicates an issue with video memory. The BIOS uses VGA text mode, which, for each character position, has bits for the ASCII code for the character as well the colors of the character and the background. Video memory errors manifest as scrambled text since the proper character or attribute cannot be retained. Since the GeForce 8500GT is a discrete adapter (rather than an integrated GPU that uses main memory), then the video memory is on the GPU board itself. A fanless GPU card is more prone to failure simply because there is no fan to ensure air flow over the board's heatsink for heat transfer. Poor air circulation around a fanless GPU card can lead to permanent heat damage to the video adapter.

As none of the machines I own has less than 2GB ram (and that's my bros scabby lappy - none of my machines have less than 8gb of RAM, even my phone has. On my install using Jockey to install the guest additions lead Ubuntu to choose the wrong resolutions for my monitor and it was only by deactivating the drivers.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 and I was using the. The NVIDIA drivers could be easily installed in.

Even with a GPU fan, a PC case requires good intake of cool air and extraction of the heated air with minimal (or preferably no) dead or hot zones. The 'electricity fluctuation' may just be a coincidence. Or the components on the 8500GT were aged prematurely or operating at the edge of their range by excessive heat, and therefore maybe more susceptible to electrical glitches. BTW I replaced a similar fanless GeForce 7300GT that had BSOD in Win 7 and the bad text in the BIOS. The BSOD was particularly nasty in that it made rebooting very difficult; i.e. Windows required a 'repair' but that would fail.

I recommend that you replace the GPU before you get a similar issue. Download Free Il Fattore Scarpetta Pdf more.

If I read what it does right, your GPU shouldn't even be able to do OpenCL at this moment, because the SIMD on the compute units takes care of the parallellisation of the work. Driver problem? Hardware error? To be complete, what OS and driver combo is this with? Ubuntu 16.04LTS and amdgpu-pro-driver-16.30.3 Can you run work with it?

Do you have more errors than feels normal? Working absolutely perfectly, with the debug flag set yes the warning shows.
