Hi (Sorry if wrong section)


When playing graphical games I sometimes crash with a Pink&White or Grey&White striped vertical screen, I have Crossfire 6850's(Up to date drivers) and Two monitors, the Crash only shows on my left monitor, whilst the other monitor either goes to sleep or is just a blank black/grey screen.

I have to resort to either switching my PSU on and then back off or holding down my power button and then starting my rig back up again.

When I restart back up only my left monitor works (Both monitors show "Windows Starting" upon start-up etc and all the usual start-up screens, but after that(the blue screen right after "windows starting" my right screen goes to sleep and only my right one shows my desktop. I have to shut down and start back up my computer maybe 10 times before both monitors work upon start up.

Then the proccess just repeats when i play a game it will crash out of the blue after maybe 1-2 hours of gaming. (when not gaming my computer is perfect and does not crash)

I've ordered a gtx680 to replace my CF6850's with, so maybe this will help.(bad amd drivers or faulty GPU's?)


Just wondering if you guys could give me any advice as what it could be.

Sorry if i have missed anything, feel free to ask :)
 
usually gpu memory related when it does that,can be system memory but more likely the gpu memory

can test with downclocking it by 100 or 200mhz and retest
