Hey chaps just got some stuff to copy paste in to here from a mate. I told him to post it himself but hes scared of you lot :(

Hey guys,

about a month ago I noticed that my textures and certain shaders started bugging on my graffics card where I would see little black squares all over certain areas of games.

As the month wore on it got progressivly worse where I would get blue screens due to my display driver crashing, no matter how recent the drivers I used the problem still occured and I put it down to my gfx card.


This week I purchased a much needed new PC tower along with a new Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 TI gfx card and after trying reinstalling windows on a fairly old motherboard and updating the graffics card It still crashes with the same error.

Just wondering If this is now some sort of conflict with the Motherboard PCI-E slot and any card I attempt to put in it. The mother board Driovers are also up to date.

Anyone who had or has this problem and can come up with a solution, any help would be muchly apprecicated before I decide to grab a new motherboard :) thanks in advance.

My pc specs are as Follows:

OS: Win 7 64-bit


Processor:AMD Phenom II X4 955 ~ 3.5GHz
Ram: 4X2GB Corsair
Mother Board: Gigabyte M52l - S3P
PRevious Graffics Card: Radeon 4800 series
New Graffics Card: Nvidia GTX 560 TI
PSU: Corsair 650W
Hard Drives:
Hitachi 1TB
Hitachi 500GB (Windows)
Samsung 320GB

To add to the above, he also had "display driver has stopped working" when booting in to windows, and regular crashes. A fresh windows install didnt resolve this. My theory is the motherboard is having a problem, but he wants a second opinion before commiting.
 
Dave Here,
Thanks to Oxy for posting this on my behalf, I have installed a new psu and I am still getting these problems.... and because I dont have a dvd-rom at the moment I am playing with the idea that I should install Windows on a completely new hard drive and try that before I grab my new mobo & CPU, does anyone else have any other ideas?



edit. I have tried to install off of a USB stick but to no avail :(
