Lenovo X3400 M2 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.

- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- The Lenovo X3400 M2 restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
