Graphics card causing BSOD

TheRedScot · 25 Sep 2011 at 21:29

I have a HIS ATI 6950 graphics card. It has been working fine for 2 weeks that I had it then last night when I turned my computer on I got the BSOD. After some troubleshooting I found out that the graphics card was causing this, it also gave a green tint on the screen. I re-seated the graphics card and tried again, it did the same thing. I am using the on board graphics now and the computer works fine. Should I send the graphics card back to overclockers or is there a way to fix this?

You could always try reinstalling the Catalyst drivers from scratch, put the card back in.
When booting your PC, press F8 just before windows starts to load. Then choose safemode.
Once windows has loaded up un-install all the ATI drivers.
Reboot as normal, and then install the latest drivers from the ATI website.

If the blue screens continue you were probably right with your initial diagnosis.

I've had that error before. What does it mean?
