Going again and the. That happens untill the screen cuts to lots of thin lines going vertically all the way across the screen, this happened Once before but I thought it was a one off, now after this the pc Is still workin because I'm speaking tO a friend on skyPe and the o ly thing I can do is to restart Pc,


HELP!!!

Thanks =D
 
stupid wuestion - is the monitor cable fitted securely? I had some little dancing green dots starting to appear on my screen a while back and quickly grew in numbers. Thought perhaps this was the first signs of a premature death but in fact it was just a loose connection.
 
I'll check temps. This morning, also I'm alittle worries weither I'm still under its warentty the card was bought from overclockers about a year ago, but they don't sell it anymOre so they can't replace I came they, as fOr the manufacture warranty where do I go to speak to someone about that =(
I'm running it on a 530w PSU and this usually happens every so often so it will be fine for like 3 hours then then bang, or 20 minute, bang, if that makes sense.

LOL

Also i had the same thing happen to my old amd card

I was thinking about using my other HDD and installing windows on there. but would my game and all of that still be ok on the other HDD?
because I'd hate to have to reinstall 500gb of steam games! :O LOL
 
RAM... erm maybe.. But for some reason it's been fine for the last like 2 hours. but before then it did crash again. if it was the ram what should I do to sort that out? I have 4 x 2gb
 
Im in process of sending memory back as same as yours be fine for a while then randomly crash, Mine tended to crash in the 1st 15 mins of playing online in LoL or BF3 never had a crash while browsing or out.

Test the memory see if u have a dodgy stick
