Hi guys

Started up and had some odd pattern on white screen.



i have restarted and now its gone, could it be the monitor?

Thanks
 
Yeah and only a white page. Seems fine now though. Very odd. Could be down to temperature?

No, the card has never been overclocked. Running games and there's no artifacts or anything.
 
Have you tried swapping the ports/cables used? I had an issue that was cyan blocks like that down to a dying cable.

Though I’d assume if it can be screenshot it’s likely a raw output issue. How hot is the card getting while web browsing if you think temperature could be an issue?
 
Ah ok, I haven't tried different cables and I don't have any others spare. By temperature I meant a cold boot causing problems but most unlikely.
 
Well hasn't happened again today but did some benchmark runs and no artifacts or crashes but the score was quite lower than i expected. Only scored 7000 last time i ran it was in the 8000's although i did have other apps open. This was on port royal.
 
Browsers are very sensitive to RAM issues. When my RAM died it was first noticed in Firefox browser and then it corrupted the C drive. I would do a RAM test just to rule that out.
