Title says it all really.

further info: only happens once ACC is turned on in bios, regardless of whether 2 or 4 cores being used or OC or not. Tried diff PCIe slot for card, same result, also reset bios etc, and tried 1 stick of ram, all the usual stuff, but as soon as ACC is turned on in bios,, bang...

Only affects images on web/vidoes gaming seems ok ... Took screen shots and issue did not show up on saved file .... so image below is from phone.

Mobo or card or driver ? 555be, 4850xfx xxx, DFi M2RS, Win 7 32.
Any suggerstions where to go from here appreciated

doubt it will be the motherboard.. if the motherboard had a problem, it would do it more often and wouldn't affect just images and video so we can rule that one out.

It could be the card as the image you uploaded looks like artefacts, but their is no way of knowing this without running a benchmark. Do you game at all??? If you do and it doesn't happen then, then we have a problem as it could not be the card!

I am thinking driver issue. Try downloading the latest drivers. There are a few out there atm because of BF3.

Try that and come back with results xD
 
Benchmark card ? 3dmark or something else more powerful i.e. vantage?

Done 2 hours prime this morn on 4 cores at 3.9 an all passed ok, so im sure its not that.

I'll try get a couple of hours gaming the night, although could be tricky missus due date was friday :) an she's making noises the now so maybe not the night for gaming ha!

if any issues an i'll get back.

as for drivers, got all the latest for board and ATI. although i'll double check.

Thanks for getting back though.
 
Its ok. if it isnt the drivers, then it HAS to be the card!

If it is, get your wallet out, for a replacement card (might as well upgrade lol) you will be raped out of at least £140 for a good card like the 6870!
