Red Screen Of Death?

superleeds27 · 17 Feb 2012 at 14:32

Not sure whats just happened.

Been playing footy manager for around an hour, then all of a sudden the screen went Red.

Could still see football manager in some parts of the screen, in some parts it was a filled red area.

Pc had also froze. Turned of the PC, opened it up, nothig inside was too warm. Booted back up and checked temps, everything seemed fine.

So, the question is, what caused it, has anyone else had this problem?

Win 7 X64 SP1 Btw

Probly just been a random thing messing up,wouldnt worry about it too much unless it keeps happening ,especialy on other programs......if it did that id say its the graphics card or RAM? never seen that happening before though personaly....

sounds like it gfx card related, run a gfx bench and see if it replicates it

superleeds27 · 17 Feb 2012 at 17:11

which bench?

adrichardson81 · 17 Feb 2012 at 17:14

Could well be gfx memory. 3dmark or Heaven should be fine

Ran furmark. Seems to have no problems in there. Did the 1080 Bnehc in 3 times. Did 5 mins of the 15 min bench.

Temps hit 70C

Edit: Will download 3DMark see what happens with that

Ran 3DMark 11 Advanced on 1080P Extreme mode. Completed with

X1498 3DMarks

Maybe it was just a random occurance?

It's your PC's memory clock thinking the date is 23/12/12

Happened again today whilst i was web browisng.

This time it wasn't as bad, had little red speckles or pixels located around the screen. Complete was reacting really really slowly. Mouse would move, but so slow i just had to turn off at the button.

Going to install the previous drivers 285 i think they are. See if this problem goes away!

Wont have out to do with changing gpu coolers will it?

Could be - depends on what kind of contact you are making with the components. Poor contact = little/no cooling = graphical glitches
