I'm deliberately not giving any details just yet, but if you're not sure what you're looking at, my desktop has been shrunk to half screen and doubled vertically.

Im sure I remember reading a thread on here some time ago about this.... and im sorry to say if I remember correctly your screen is shagged. Dont quote me on this but it rings a bell with me.
 
My Hazro HZ30W (old version) failed in exactly the same way.

Looks like screen failure to me. With a LOT of hassle I finally managed to get them to replace it (and then only with intervention from OcUK). It turns out it was a damaged processing chip of some kind.

Sorry for the bad news, but it looks like the screen is dead. You can try contacting Hazro for a replacement, but it isn't a pleasant process. They aren't really geared up for returns, and don't make end-user service a high priority.
 
Upsss, is this a winning-card-7970 from MSI ?
Bad boys, really bad boys if they sent you broken card :/ Check it with other monitor/TV if card gives the same picture.
 
i've seen that effect in linux when it's trying to use a screen size smaller than the monitor can handle, only happens when i have my smaller 2nd monitor attached.

i have a hazro too.
 
Looks like its gone into 3D TOP/BOTTOM mode there is also Side by side mode.

For a monitor error I would not imagin having 2 copies of the same window, just one broken one. Do you another graphics card to test?
 
When mine failed it was like that at every resolution, and during POST etc. The GPU was fine; the picture displayed correctly with a different monitor. The duff monitor either didn't work at all, or had a distorted picture when tried on other machines.
 
Ok, here’s the story:

It is the R7970 – it gave no signal from either DVI port, or any of the 4 MDPs using the enclosed MDP-DVI adapter, or my own MDP-DVI adapter. I got that image by waiting for Windows to load, and then pulling out the DVI cable and putting it back in, but I only got that image from one of the DVI ports, the other was still no signal. There was no signal at BIOS from any port, but Windows was making the noise it makes when a new device is plugged in as I tried each port.

I returned to OcUK and apparently it has tested as fine and is now on its way back to me. I literally just removed my MSI R6970 and installed the R7970, nothing else changed.

But here is the really odd part, about a year ago I bought the R6970 and it had exactly the same problem as is showing with the R7970. I returned it to OcUK where it was tested as faulty and a replacement was sent. The replacement was fine and is still fine to this day.

How queer. :confused:

All with the same screen, or with different ones?

Hazros can be a bit picky with AMD cards, from my experience.

What did you expect? After all you are duff man.
 
I'd guess at some sort of monitor refresh/timing issue, incorrect setting?

edit: If it's happened with two different cards I would try replacing the DVI cable for a good quality one, there's a good chance it might be your monitor though.
