Hi.
Lately I have been getting a grey screen. Only way to get around it is to hold the powerbutton to power down. Sometimes this grey screen is white or blue or grey striped...
Nothing is reported in eventmanager.. other than the incorrect closing of windows, that I had to do myself.
Well, it would be pretty obvious, that the chance for my Graphic card being busted is pretty good.
But some time back there was the same issues with the amd 5000 series cards and it was a driver issue... So before sending in my card for RMA, I just wanted to doublecheck. And yes, I have tried google. I just wanted to be sure, by asking you guys.
The card is a powercolor 6950 And is bought last fall, so if faulty, it should be replaceable.
Funny thing is, it seems to crash when browsing, often but not always. sometimes it takes hours. Others there is just no way around it crashing, while browsing or small programs like the games that comes with windows (you know the small cardgames backgammon and such), and I will use a laptop instead (for browsing that is, not the small games
). It has still not crashed while in "big" games.. Civilisation V, Eve Online, Payday, being some of the titles I have played...
Anyways, has there been reportings of faulty AMD drivers that my (perhaps) lacking google-skills have not found?
Thanks for your help.
