Confirming Graphics Card Has Failed

[Hioncc]

Hello,

I purchased a Sapphie Radeon HD5670 Graphics card around December (I know it's not the best, but was an upgrade for the family computer from the on-board one it had at the time).

It has worked perfectly since then, until today. I was browsing eBay, when the screen flickered and blue screened for no reason.

I have tried to restart the PC, which is fine up until where the windows cursor should first appear where instead it blue screens, unfortunately I cannot read this blue screen as it only shows for a fraction of a second before rebooting itself.

I have removed the graphics card and reconnected to the on-board one, to which the computer boots as normal.

I have tried resetting the BIOS settings etc, but the same problems happens when the HD5670 is in.

Any help would be appreciated

Kind Regards

Do you have another PC you can test the card in at all?

Hello,

Yes I can test it in another PC and will get back to you.

Hello,

I started the PC up with the graphics card in, and the blue screened hanged enough for me to read something about drivers in the top line.

I then removed the graphics card, and now get the blue screen with "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT"

Any ideas?

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is now the error message that is occurring.

Seems there is a major problem somewhere.

it doesnt seem like its a graphics card issue IRQ is a CPU/MEMORY issue mostly.
i would check your memory and cpu.
