    1. I know you’ve blown the dust out but apparently to do it right you have to remove the shield. Some discussion here:

      http://en.community.dell.com/suppor…

      Also a recommended replacement from there of a Geforce 440.

      The gts 240 is an OEM card used by Dell and maybe some others. I looked on Dell’s site for driver support for that card and could only find drivers for up to windows 7. Nvidia does have a Geforce windows 10 driver–version 341.74–that would work. I can’t give a direct link but start here:

      http://www.geforce.com/drivers

      The automatic update or auto-detect gpu would probably work but if you do the manual search the options on the right would be:

      Geforce
      Geforce 200 series
      Geforce GTS 240
      Window 10 64 bit (it’s the same download for 32 bit)
      English
      All

      Edit Oh well, here a direct download link:

      http://www.geforce.com/drivers/resu…

      So either a good cleaning, card replacement or driver update should get it going.
