Graphics Crashing, forcing restart?!

[BoB3rt]

Hi,

i have a HD5770 (powercolour) every now and then it randomly crashes and the screen will go blank with one colour (no consistant colour) or strips, sort of depends on what am viewing.

it has happened on both 2D and 3D apps. The sounds playing will also stall (like a broken record) from then on i cant do anything but force restart with the button...

i would post up my event viewer but i am in uni at the minute.

anybody else had this issue?

thanks

thanks for the info... will test the card on a diffrent rig myself tomorrow (thurs) knowing the rig is totally stable now with a 8800gts.

thanks.
